Resetting a completed level softlocks the game - the level restarts, but the player can't move, even after further resets.

Very nice game, except for the fact that the game occasionally inserts extra pieces before the one shown in the Next box.

While we're posting code, here's one I've conjectured to always work:

def loses(triplet):
     c,b,a = sorted(triplet); mod = 1
     if (a,b,c) == (a,a,(0 if a==1 else a)): return True
     while c >= mod//2:
         if (b%mod,c%mod,(b//mod)&~(b//mod+c//mod)) == (mod//2,mod//2,0): return a == b + c + (1 - mod//2 if mod > 1 else 2)
         mod *= 2
     return a == b + c + 1
def move(triplet): #example input: move((99,100,101))
     if loses(triplet): print(triplet,"loses"); return
     a,b,c = triplet
     for trip in [(i,b,c) for i in range(a)]+[(a,j,c) for j in range(b)]+[(a,b,k) for k in range(c)]:
         if loses(trip): print(trip)
