Color Flood

Color Flood is a 2D coloring game where cells are colored by their neighbours spread.

Game Rules

• The game board is of size M x N and is initialized with random colors.
• Each turn the player must choose a color and type it in (red (r), blue (b), green (g), yellow (y)).
• The top left cell is the starting cell.
• The new color (that the player chose) spreads to all the neighbors of the starting cell which have the same color as it does.
• To win, the board must be of one color at a maximum of 21 moves.
• The player loses if after 21 moves the board is not colored in a single color.

Extra Features

1. Undo support:
   • When the user types the letter 'u', the board goes back to the previous state it was in.
   • The user can type 'u' as many times he wants and each time the board goes back a state.
   • When the board is in the initial state, typing 'u' should change nothing.
2. Knight move:
   • When the user types the letter 'k', the board toggles its state onward so the spreading algorithm uses knight moves instead of the regular up-down-right-left.
   • When the user types the letter 'k' the second time, the board switches back to the regular spreading algorithm.
3. Joker cells:
   • Initialize random cells to be used as special joker cells.
   • Each time a special joker cell is colored, it colors all of its direct neighbors regardless of their color.
