+ * Flood fill, also called seed fill, is an algorithm that determines and alters the area connected
+ * to a given node in a multi-dimensional array with some matching attribute. It is used in the
+ * "bucket" fill tool of paint programs to fill connected, similarly-colored areas with a different
+ * color. (description adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill) (see also:
+ * https://www.techiedelight.com/flood-fill-algorithm/).
