The gap

What it is
This template gives you a deduction-based solver, a generator that keeps only provable puzzles and a hint system built on the same rules.
How you use it
Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.
Use it when
Built for
One sweep function holds every deduction; the solver, the hints and auto-complete all reuse it.
Change the size, seed or trial limit in generate() to make new sets of any difficulty.
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
