Layouttype
A board. network: every piece must end up wet, and no wet piece may open
on nothing. drains: every drain must be reached, and no wet piece may open
on nothing; a piece the water does not reach is a spare, and may face any way.
inlet-outlet: one pump and one drain, each an end piece; the water must run
from the one to the other through one unbranched path (every wet piece opens on
two sides and no more), with nothing left open. Spares may face any way.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
width | number | |
height | number | |
kind | Kind | |
wrap | boolean | Whether the edges join: the east of the last column is the first, the south of the last row the top. |
cells | number[] | The sides each piece opens on, as the board is given or as it is turned; 0 is blank ground. |
sources | number[] | The cells the water comes from, in order. |
drains | number[] | The cells the water must reach, in order. |
locked (optional) | readonly number[] | undefined | The cells whose piece cannot be turned: it stays facing as the board gives it, which for an answer's board is the way it faces in the answer. Ascending. Left out of a board that has none. |
walls (optional) | readonly number[] | undefined | The walls: edges between two cells that water cannot cross, so a piece opening on one runs out of
it as it does at the edge of the board. An edge is |
bigs (optional) | readonly number[] | undefined | The BIG PIECES: squares of four cells that are one piece. Each is named by its top left cell (the
anchor), ascending. A tap turns the whole square a quarter in place: the piece in each of its cells moves
round to the next cell and turns with it. Inside a big piece the pipes join: wherever two of its cells
meet, either both open towards each other or neither does. Only a network has them, and they never
overlap, never hold a pump, a drain, a locked piece or a wall between two of their cells, and never
cross the edge of a board that wraps. Left out of a board that has none ( |
blocks (optional) | readonly number[] | undefined | The BLOCKS THAT TURN AS ONE: like big pieces, squares of four cells that a tap turns together a quarter,
but each of the four pieces is its own, with no rule about how they join inside, and a tap on any of them
turns the square. Named and kept to the same rules as |
