mergeGridR: Grid-Based Number Merge Puzzle Simulation
Provides tools to simulate, analyse, visualise, and benchmark grid-based number merge puzzles. The package implements generic grid mechanics, tile-spawning rules, merge rules, scoring functions, reproducible simulation utilities, and local 'Shiny' and 'WebGL' interfaces for interactive use. It is intended for teaching, algorithmic experimentation, and game-theoretic examples. The autoplay helpers use standard heuristic search and Monte Carlo simulation ideas described in Russell and Norvig (2021, ISBN:9780134610993) and Robert and Casella (2004, ISBN:9780387212395).
