Application Description

Simple Hex: A Two-Player Connection Game

Simple Hex is a captivating two-player connection game with straightforward rules, making it easy to learn. Players choose red or blue and take turns coloring empty cells on the game board. The objective? Create a connected path of your colored cells linking opposite sides of the board. The first player to achieve this connection wins.

Game Modes:

The game offers several modes:

Play with AI: Challenge yourself against three AI difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard). The AI can start as either the first or second player.
Play with Friends: Compete against a friend using separate devices.
Pass & Play: Enjoy local multiplayer on a single device.

Game Features:

Undo Button: Regret a move? The undo button lets you rewind (currently unavailable in AI mode).
Steal Move: To balance the inherent first-player advantage, the second player can choose to switch places with the first player after the first move. This forces the first player to make a strategic opening move (currently unavailable in AI mode).
Multiple Board Sizes: Start with smaller boards (7x7, 9x9) and progress to larger, more challenging 11x11 boards as your skills improve.

AI Enhancements:

The AI in this version utilizes a "stable" unbounded best-first minimax game algorithm. Thanks to Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik for their work on performance improvements to the AI algorithm. For more information on the AI, connect with the developer at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/.
