Merlin was an electronic toy made by Parker Bros in the 1970's.
Merlin contained many games and one of those games was a 3x3 version of Lights Out called "Magic Square".
This is my version of Lights Out/Magic Square and it's my first SwiftUI application. I wrote it with my 12 year old son. We wanted to learn iOS programming and do something fun together during the COVID-19 self-quarantine.
We went from not owning (or even using) a Macintosh, not knowing a lick of Swift and barely remembering how to play this game to a decent playable iOS/SwiftUI version of the game in about 30 days! We are really proud of ourselves! And it was a lot of fun!

When all of the squares are filled with color, you win the level. There are 8 levels in our version of Lights Out, from a 2x2 grid to a 9x9 grid. Some levels are very easy and others are extremely hard.
We can't get past the 7x7 grid! 😄
