Instead of placing a stone, a player may choose to rotate vertically or horizontally. To explain the mechanics of this, it will be easier to use a concrete example. If they choose to rotate vertically, they would choose a column and a number of rows to rotate by. Suppose they choose column C and 5 rows. Then all stones in column C and all the columns to the right of column C would be shifted down 5 rows. So a stone at D5 would move to D10. They loop around, so a stone at F18 would move to F4.

Ideally, the player would be able to use the arrow keys to view the results of a rotation as they consider their move, so they don't have to try to visualize the rotation in their head.

Seems like too much work for too few potential users to really consider.
