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 board. The objective is to create a continuous path of your colored cells connecting opposite sides of the board. The first player to complete this connection wins.

The game features "Play with AI," "Play with Friend," and "Pass & Play" modes. The AI offers three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) and can play first or second. Alternatively, play against a friend using separate devices or engage in local multiplayer via "Pass & Play."

While simple to learn, Simple Hex offers a challenging strategic depth. An undo button allows you to revert moves (currently unavailable in AI mode).

Steal Move Feature: To balance the inherent first-player advantage, the second player can opt to switch positions with the first player after the first move. This forces the first player to carefully consider their opening move. (This option is also not available in AI mode.)

Three board sizes (7x7, 9x9, and 11x11) provide a gradual increase in complexity, hence the name "Simple Hex."

Acknowledgements: We extend our gratitude to interns Saatvik Inampudi and Shoheb Shaik for their contributions to performance improvements in the AI algorithm's initial version. The current AI utilizes a "stable" unbounded best-first minimax game technique. For further details, connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nsvemuri/

What's New in Version 0.45 (Last updated Dec 18, 2024):

  • The easy AI difficulty level has been adjusted to be genuinely easy, and the medium level is now slightly easier.
