About
During the christmas of 2014 I was over at my in-laws’ place. There I found this game, where you have 9 tiles, organized in a 3x3 grid, and the goal was to swap or rotate the witches so that all witches have the correct color and orientation. At first I thought it would be really easy, but I never managed to solve it on my own, instead I wrote a small program brute-forcing the solution.
To see what the original game looks like, google for “Crazy Witch Game”
As written on the box, there are two solutions (which can be rotated in 4 directions, effectively making it 8 solutions). Since I found the game fascinating, I have created it in javascript-form here for you to play. Instead of witches, you will have to make do with chameleons (created in paint by my wife). I can recommend creating your own solver for it, it’s pretty fun, and shouldn’t be too hard.

How to play
You play by selecting two cards, which will swap their places. Clicking on a card twice will rotate it 90 degrees. You win when all chameleons match in all directions.
