Application Description

This two-player connection game, Simple Hex, is easy to learn but hard to master. Players choose red or blue and take turns coloring empty cells on the board. The goal is to create a connected path of your colored cells linking opposite sides of the board. The first player to complete this connection wins.

The game features "Play with AI," "Play with Friend," and "Pass & Play" modes. The AI offers three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) and can play first or second. Alternatively, play against a friend using separate devices or locally via "Pass & Play."

An undo button lets you reverse your last move(s), though this isn't yet available in AI mode. A "Steal Move" option gives the second player a chance to switch places with the first player after the first move, preventing guaranteed wins for the first player (not available in AI mode). Three board sizes (7x7, 9x9, 11x11) provide a progressive challenge.

We thank interns Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik for their work on AI performance improvements. The current AI uses a "stable" unbounded best-first minimax game technique. Learn more about it from me at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/

What's New in Version 0.45 (Last updated Dec 18, 2024): The easy level is now truly easy, and the medium level is slightly easier.
