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 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: 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 gameplay on a single device.

Game Features:

Undo Button: Regret a move? Use the undo button (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 strategize carefully (unavailable in AI mode).
Multiple Board Sizes: Start with smaller boards (7x7, 9x9) and progress to larger, more challenging 11x11 boards.

AI Enhancements:

The AI in this version utilizes a "stable" unbounded best-first minimax game algorithm. Performance improvements were implemented by interns Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik. For more information on the algorithm, contact N. S. Vemuri via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/
