Go to the GitHub Page and pick the game you want to solve. (Currently Tic-Tac-Toe and Custom Game are available, see the next section on how to implement your own game.)
Specify the game setup (JSON format, validated by an annotated schema) and hit the play button to draw the decision graph and calculate the player(s) with a winning strategy. For games that supporting a board or an arena, you can also hover over nodes and see a visual representation of the game in that state.
In order to implement your game you need to subclass TypedGame which takes
two generic type parameters: The type of the game's setup (which must be JSON
serializable) and the type of the internal state representation.
The game must support it's own (de)serialization of states to a string by
implementing encodeState and decodeState respectively.
In order to verify the setup, a game must provide a JSON schema, which is an
object of type JSONSchemaType from the ajv validator.
You can use getSetup in all functions to safely retrieve the loaded setup.
A sample setup, together with other game meta data, has to be registered with
the Games object defined in src/setup.ts.
The game has to provide the name and color of players through getPlayers, as
well as the initial state (getInitialState), transitions between states
(getNextStates) and if a player is winning in a certain state
(getWinningPlayersFromState).
In contrast to traditional decision games, getting stuck doesn't automatically
count as a win for other players, so the game needs to return these wins
explicitly if so desired.
Lastly, a game can draw a state by implementing renderState. If the browser
supports OffscreenCanvas
this function is called in a worker thread. Otherwise it will be called in the
UI thread, so the function should finish rather quickly.
For an example to get you started see src/tictactoe.ts, pull requests of new
games are very welcome.
