Another new puzzle! This one isn't particularly deep or complex

(solving it only requires matrix inversion over GF(2), whereas
several of the other puzzles in this collection are NP-complete in
principle), but it's a fun enough thing to play with and is
non-trivial to do in your head - especially on the hardest preset.

+You have a grid of squares, some light and some dark. Your aim is to
+light all the squares up at the same time. You can choose any square
+and flip its state from light to dark or dark to light, but when you
+do so, other squares around it change state as well.
+
+Each square contains a small diagram showing which other squares
+change when you flip it.

+
+\dd This control determines the shape of the region which is flipped
+by clicking in any given square. The default setting, \q{Crosses},
+causes every square to flip itself and its four immediate neighbours
+(or three or two if it's at an edge or corner). The other setting,
+\q{Random}, causes a random shape to be chosen for every square, so
+the game is different every time.
