names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

    This attempt—
    Personal best · Local—

    Closing keeps you on this level. Tap “View result” on the lantern string to open it again.

    Which street tonight?

    Twenty levels · Two chapters
    Chapter one teaches basic arrangement. Chapter two adds the rotating double BBQ stall. Each chapter has ten levels; difficulty is being calibrated.

    Completing a level opens the next available level. Completed levels can be replayed freely.

    Stall arrangement guide

    1. Select stall → Tap cell
    Tap a stall card, then an empty cell to place it, or drag the card straight onto the board. Press and drag a placed stall to an empty cell to move it; drop it on another stall to swap the two.

    2. Leave service space
    Guests order from the cell immediately in front of the arrow. Keep that cell empty of stalls and objects.For an east-facing arrow, service is one cell east of the stall.

    Guests must also be able to walk from the entrance through empty cells to service. The route may turn and uses shared edges, never diagonals or occupied cells. Service cannot lie outside the board. The arrow identifies the ordering position; customers do not need a straight approach.

    EmptyStall ▶ServiceEntranceEmptyEmpty
    Entrance → Empty-cell route (may turn) → Service

    Selecting a placed stall outlines its service cell. An unreachable cell shows ✕ and an explanation. Tap a stall in Opening conditions to inspect service. Turn or move it to reconnect the entrance.

    3. Meet every opening condition
    Near means at least one shared edge between full footprints; apart means none. Do not place stalls on the entrance or exit. Connect them, place every stall and meet every required condition.

    Stuck? Take your time
    Undo includes moves, turns, packing up and resets. To start the street over, use the eraser button at the top-left of the board, next to Undo; Undo brings everything back. Hints never place stalls for you. Verified coordinate examples start from an empty board; other valid arrangements are welcome.

    Keyboard and mouse
    1–9 select a stall, R turn right, Shift R turn left, H hint, Delete pack up, Ctrl Z undo. Right-click the board to turn right, Shift + right-click to turn left. Use arrow keys on the board and Enter / Space to place or select. Esc closes dialogs.

    Time and personal best

    Timing starts when a normal level opens. Help, level selection and switching away pause it. Hints do not pause it.

    Tutorials and old saved attempts are practice, with no best time. The eraser button (top-left of the board) starts a new attempt; Undo restores the previous board and time.

    Progress and best times are saved in this browser. Clearing site data or changing devices removes access to them.

    Chapter two: Double BBQ

    The sign cell is the anchor you tap
    The other cell is the kitchen. Both belong to the same stall; tap either to select it. Guests cannot walk through either cell.

    Turn around the sign anchor
    The sign stays in place while the kitchen and service direction turn. The shape and board previews show the result. A blocked turn explains the collision and leaves the board unchanged. Shift+R turns backwards.

    Arrow and kitchen position
    Sign arrowKitchen relative to sign
    ▲ NorthOne cell east
    ▶ EastOne cell south
    ▼ SouthOne cell west
    ◀ WestOne cell north

    One service cell
    Service is immediately in front of the sign arrow, empty and reachable from the entrance. The kitchen needs no separate service cell.

    Near checks whether any footprint cells share an edge; apart checks both cells. Legacy anchor-zone rules check the sign anchor only. In this approved candidate, service regions instead check actual service cells. The kitchen must stay inside the board without overlap.
