Abstract |
|
The Lights Out game, originally an electronic game played on a grid, is a solitaire game that can be played on any simple graph. It has been generalized to be played with multiple on-states, where each vertex state is represented by a label in . We define a new variant of the Lights Out game, where the vertex labels can come from any group . This new game depends deeply on the group structure of and gives us a significantly different game for cyclic groups. We investigate problems related to counting winnable labelings in the case . |
