Simple Hex: A Two-Player Connection Game

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

Game Modes:

The game offers three modes: Play with AI, Play with Friend (using separate devices), and Pass & Play (local multiplayer). The AI mode features three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard), with the AI able to play first or second.

Additional Features:

  • Undo Button: Allows you to undo your last move(s). (Currently unavailable in AI mode).
  • Steal Move: Gives the second player the option to switch places with the first player after the first move, preventing an immediate win for the first player. (Unavailable in AI mode).
  • Board Sizes: Three board sizes (7x7, 9x9, and 11x11) provide varying levels of complexity and playtime.

AI Improvements:

The AI in this version utilizes a "stable" unbounded best-first minimax game algorithm. Thanks to interns Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik for their contributions to AI performance improvements.
