   Looks like that UE4 scene is pretty recognizable! It's credited, of course [1] Using AI in interior design is very interesting, and something I should look more into. I'll be interested to see how well the AI performs - will proba

   Not at this time. I'm focusing on first making the Windows version work well. A Mac version is something that is commonly requested, so I can look at that if the app becomes popular enough.

   Sweet Home 3D is great if you don't want to download anything, since they have a browser version. My app improves on Sweet Home 3D in 2 main ways: - Rearrange furniture directly in 3D (In Sweet Home 3D, you have to add/move furnit

   Thanks, have added a license! Decided to go with MIT for its simplicity.

   Update - I implemented your idea about a sub-shape inside the hexagon. So the colored area now grows/shrinks with the tile's 'influence'

    Update - I've updated the UI to have a clearer visual indicator of how close the tiles were to flipping, using the size of the colored area.

    I've updated the UI of the game, so that it's more obvious that the 1st stone is weaker than the subsequent ones. Hopefully that will help with some of the confusion. I agree that a 55% weak stone is not ideal, but it seems to be

    Thanks for the comments! I was going for a more intuitive play style, glad you like it. I also recognize the need to better see the 'influence' level of a cell, especially for players who want to get better at the game. Maybe scal

    Thanks for the feedback :) I appreciate it! 1. I can try experimenting with the border thickness. Selectable tiles would have a light gray border, instead of the dark green/blue border. 3. I'm planning to add a way to view the &#x

    Thanks! Yea I was trying to make the game's visuals as simple as possible. Especially for mobile players, where screen real estate is quite small. But looks like there's demand for more indicators for the game's state. Will n

    Thanks for reporting the bug! I've managed to replicate it on my system too. Will look into a fix.

    Thanks for the comments! I appreciate the thought put into it. 1. My original thinking was to keep the game simple for casual players. But now I see that there are many who want to get into more depth :) Will work on it to make the rules of

    Wow our ideas were really similar. I read your blog post - even how we came up with the idea was similar! I too played a lot of Hearthstone, and thought of adding a new digital element to a board game. Seems like Go was a natural fit :)

    Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a bit of a lag before that animation starts. Will look into it.

    Looks like one of the consistent pieces of feedback is for numeric values :) Will think about how to implement that. Checked out your site too. Looks interesting!

    Appreciate the feedback! The number of turns before lock is an interesting indicator. There are some corner cases that I'd have to think more about though - e.g. when a tile is almost at the threshold but at a deadlock (both colors are

    Thanks! Yes you can play 2-player - just disable both AIs in the setting.

    Thanks for the feedback. What device are you on - mobile, tablet, desktop? I am wondering if the animation is taking longer on devices with less processing power. I could also add an option in the settings to disable animations, for those w

    That's a good idea! For those on mobile though, perhaps a button to toggle the view?

    Thanks! I did think about numeric indicators but didn't want to introduce too much complexity. Would also take away from the fun if players had to check the numbers for many cells each turn. Still trying to figure out the best way to s

    At the end of every turn, each tile influences its neighbors and imparts some of its color. Tiles with a dark border can no longer be selected. The rules are simple but it takes awhile to master. What is your best score against the Hard AI?
