cat-mouse

Program the mouse. Outsmart the cat.

You never move the mouse — you write its brain: an ordered list of rules like "if the cat is north and I'm on the edge → orbit anticlockwise", then launch the simulation and watch it play out.

A greedy, fully deterministic cat hunts the mouse on an 8×8 grid. No randomness and no reflexes, only logic — which means the game can prove things: analyse your strategy over all 4,032 possible starting positions, get an exact survival percentage, and see the heatmap of where you survive forever and where you get caught.

• 5 levels, from first steps to a 55 % survival challenge, plus a free-play lab
• Optional memory register (2–4 states): turn your rule table into a finite-state machine
• Analysis view: exact survival rate, per-rule usage, survival heatmap, CSV export

The game is in French, but the rule vocabulary is about twenty words and the interface is mostly visual — non-francophones can play comfortably. Best known strategy so far: 59.9 % survival. Can you beat it?
