You are playing the following Flip Game with your friend: Given a string that contains only these two characters: + and -, you and your friend take turns to flip two consecutive "++" into "--". The game ends when a person can no longer make a move and therefore the other person will be the winner. Write a function to compute all possible states of the string after one valid move. For example, given s = "++++", after one move, it may become one of the following states: [ "--++", "+--+", "++--" ] If there is no valid move, return an empty list [].
