New Board

let board = newBoard({height: 20, width: 20});

newBoard method takes only one argument:

Anatomy

In the figure above we have a rectangular board with:

• size parameters {width: 10, height: 10},
• a highlighted cell at position {x: 8, y:1}
• the highlighted cell has value 0000 0111 which means its enabled (hence 0 at 1st bit) and has 3 walls removed top, right, bottom (hence 1 at 6, 7 and 8th bits).

Size Parameters
