The Complexity of Flood Filling Games
[article]
2011
arXiv
pre-print
We study the complexity of the popular one player combinatorial game known as Flood-It. In this game the player is given an n by n board of tiles where each tile is allocated one of c colours. ...
The goal is to make the colours of all tiles equal via the shortest possible sequence of flooding operations. ...
MJ was supported by the EPSRC. We are grateful to Dave Arthur for producing an implementation of Flood-It, complete with examples of our NP-hardness reductions. ...

Spanning Trees and the Complexity of Flood-Filling Games
2013
Theory of Computing Systems
We consider problems related to the combinatorial game (Free-)Flood-It, in which players aim to make a coloured graph monochromatic with the minimum possible number of flooding operations. ...
We show that the minimum number of moves required to flood any given graph G is equal to the minimum, taken over all spanning trees T of G, of the number of moves required to flood T. ...
When the game is played on a planar graph, it can be regarded as modelling repeated use of the flood-fill tool in Microsoft Paint. ...

A Survey on the Complexity of Flood-Filling Games
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A complete mapping of the complexity of flood-filling games on trees is presented, charting the consequences of single and aggregate parameterizations. ...
The original versions of Flood-It and Free-Flood-It are played on n × m grids, but several studies were devoted to analyzing the complexity of these games when the "board" (the graph) belongs to other ...
Flood-Filling Games on Grids In this section we summarize the main results on the complexity of flood-filling games on grids. Theorem 1 (Clifford et al. [7] ). ...
