Brain-Teasing Siege Strategy Puzzle Game
Enclose Horse is a minimalist strategy puzzle game where you must use a limited number of walls to enclose the horse in the largest possible area. From a LeetCode-style optimization problem, the game has been developed into a complete game, challenging the player's thinking and calculation skills.
Main Objective of the Game

- Observe the horse's escape route.
- Calculate the optimal wall placement for maximum space.
- When finished, submit your score once.
Simple Controls
