Leave it as an option though - I like it :-)

It took me a few goes to realise the board was randomly generated by 
"switching" a few squares before showing the board.  I always got stuck with 
a board with 2 lights on in the bottom row and cannot work out how to get 
them off.  If I am unlucky I get this on level 3 or 4.  After about 100 
random clicks it then looks solvable, but often I just restarted the 
program.

Oh yeh, there should be a button to start again at level 1.

Yeh, or just label certain squares as "always off", which is essentially the 
same thing.  Or allow the "toggle 4 neighbours" rule to change, I remember a 
game once where clicking each square toggled a random (but constant) 
selection of squares on the whole board.  Was pretty fun.

Yep, that's what always happens to my projects too :-)  Right this moment I 
am about 60% through writing a game, but now I have an idea for a better one 
which I want to start on right away!  I have no incentive really to finish 
off the first game.
