Added colour to thumbnail, smartened up rules, changed puzzle link to remove loops from eyes and include solution

Made the rule change that flow must be determined. Halved the length of the solution code.

I like the slow thermals, but I feel like the direction of the eye thermals are confusing and frustrating.
If you'd like to keep them as-is for anesthetics--or for a little more challenge--a comment in the rules about the solver determining the direction would have made it feel like a challenge rather than a frustration, in my opinion.

After a restart, I got to comment: You may wish to disconnect the triangle in box 5 around the eye. It can't be true in both directions. Tripped me up.

Great to get this in on Star Wars Day (5/4/24)! Loved the slow thermo!
