Hey Ripli, I’ve been sketching out a little garden layout that balances shade and sun, and it feels like a puzzle—kind of like a graph coloring problem where each plant needs a different “color” of light. Do you think we could map it out with some simple rules or even a regex to catch the patterns?

Sounds like a bipartite check—plants that need shade only adjacent to ones that need sun, like a two‑color graph. You could encode the garden grid as a matrix, then write a regex that matches a row of shade‑sun pairs: `^(?:(SH|SU)(?:(?<=SH)SU|(?<=SU)SH))+$`. That enforces alternating lights. If you need more colors, add a third token and adjust the alternation pattern. Keep the matrix small; otherwise recursion or a DFS routine is cleaner than a regex.

That’s a clever way to think about light zones—like a two‑color pattern in a garden grid. I love the idea of matching shade and sun like a rhythm in the soil. How do you see the plants arranging themselves in the rows? If you want to add more light levels, we could make the pattern a bit richer, just like adding a third tone to a song.
