Show HN: Monsiv – A lightweight alternative to Chess
- the_dave_santos 8y agoInteresting game, I played against the AI. It's smart and not simply making random moves. Well done!
- monsiv 8y agoThanks! It uses the minimax algorithm to a depth of 5. Beyond that, it starts making silly moves :D
- tcbawo 8y agoFun to play and somewhat challenging. The rules are simple, but I kind of wish there was a single pop-up with the rules. It would have saved me some trial and error.
- monsiv 8y agoSorry, there's some rules here: https://monsiv.com/how-to-play https://monsiv.com/how-to-play Hopefully it makes more sense now!
- tcbawo 8y agoVery nice. I notice I keep accidentally swapping pieces when I mean to switch to highlight a different piece. I wonder if a dragging motion would be more natural.
- monsiv 8y agoThat can be annoying, I agree. I tried to get drag working nicely when I first started building it, but it was a pain to get it working on all the different mobile browsers. I've put it on my TODO list to revisit though.
- O_H_E 8y agoSuggestion: click select the other piece, click & hold swap them I lost a couple of times because of that
