Step: 0 Accepted: 0 Density: 0%
Hard: Every house (black) must have a walkable (white) neighbor. All walkable space must be connected. No two houses may touch only at a corner (diagonal).
Density: More houses = better.
Vista: Penalizes straight white runs > 3 — long corridors feel exposed.
Enclosure: Rewards white cells at bends and corners — they feel intimate.
Plaza: Penalizes 2×2 white blocks — open lots, not cozy space.
Dead-end: Penalizes white cells with 3 black neighbors — movement traps.
