DownloadSimple 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 features three modes: Play with AI, Play with Friends, and Pass & Play. The AI mode offers three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard), allowing the AI to play first or second. "Play with Friends" enables multiplayer gameplay using separate devices, while "Pass & Play" allows local multiplayer on a single device.
Game 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 positions with the first player after the first move, preventing guaranteed wins for the first player. (Unavailable in AI mode).
- Multiple Board Sizes: Offers 7x7, 9x9, and 11x11 boards, providing a gradual increase in complexity.

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 performance improvements. For more information on the AI algorithm, contact the developer at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/.
