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 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 several modes:

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

Game Features:

  • Undo Button: Regret your last move(s)? Use the undo button (currently unavailable in AI mode).
  • Steal Move: To balance the inherent first-player advantage in Hex, the second player can choose to switch positions with the first player after the first move. This forces the first player to make a move that doesn't guarantee a win (currently unavailable in AI mode).
  • Multiple Board Sizes: Start with smaller boards (7x7, 9x9) and gradually progress to larger, more complex 11x11 boards.

AI Improvements:

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