Store listing

Full description
Simple Hex is a two-player connection game. The rules are simple, this game can be learned quickly. Each player chooses a colour, red or blue. Players take turns colouring a single empty cell within the overall playing board. The goal for each player is to form a connected path of those cells linking opposite sides of the board marked by their colours. The first player to complete the connection wins the game. The game by default supports "Play with AI" and "Play with Friend" and "Pass & Play" modes In AI, It allows three levels of AI difficulty (easy, medium, hard) and AI can play either as first player or second player. Alternately, user can choose 'play with friends' to play with friend using a different device or 'pass & play' mode to enable multi player local play. The game is easy to learn, but hard to master. If you do not like your last move(s), you can use the undo button. This option is not available in the AI version yet. Steal Move: Since in Hex the first player has a distinct advantage, the second player has an option to switch positions with the first player after the first player makes the first move. Thus the first player is forced to choose a first move that will not give a definite win. This option is not available in the AI version. We introduced 3 board sizes 7X7, 9X9 and 11X11 so that users gradually mature to play longer versions of the game. Hence the name, Simple Hex More information about Hex can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_(board_game) We thank both interns: Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik for working on the performance improvements of the first version of the AI algorithm. The current version of the game AI uses a technique called 'stable' unbounded best first minimax game. If you want to learn more about it, you can reach me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/
