Notes
In this instance the game has the following additional rules and adjustments: an object can move in a continuous straight line and turn one of two ways when a boundary is met: a piece can therefore only travel up, down and across. The grid cell being approximately the same size of the object, each move is constrained by the grid and it's boundary. On an object coming to rest on another object, a challenge is initiated: on lose - the challenging object returns to the previous position, on win - the defeated object is removed from play.
