Dama (Italian Checkers)

Web implementation with drag-and-drop pieces, king promotion, mandatory multi-capture, and an AI move for black after each human turn.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Human vs computer with configurable symbol and starting player. The game warns suboptimal human moves with "perderai" and celebrates when the computer wins.

Connect Four

Configure player color, starting side, and AI depth from 6 to 14 before each game. Alpha-beta engine with effective depth feedback after every computer move.

Mastermind

Logic and deduction with black/white peg feedback. Configure code length, color pool, duplicates, and max attempts before every match.

Configure color, turn order, and AI level in double-moves. The engine automatically boosts depth by +1/+2 when computer root choices are limited.

HEX

Choose board size (5x5 to 11x11), player color, starting side, and AI lookahead level from 2 to 16 move pairs.

Dots and Boxes

Draw lines between adjacent dots, close boxes, and chain extra turns. Includes public teaching notes with rules and strategy, configurable grid size, and selectable AI depth.
