    Nice work, this is fun! I&#x27;ve only played against the AI so far, managed to win on Beginner.<p>I think it would benefit from some little animations so it&#x27;s clearer what&#x27;s going on. But making that work nicely across both desktop and mobile could be a real pain, so I wouldn&#x27;t blame you for punting it until later. :)<p>A smaller suggestion: maybe draw all the spare pieces on screen, rather than just displaying e.g. &quot;15 pcs&quot; as text. That way you can see at a glance when your stock is dwindling. Experts won&#x27;t need that but it could be useful for beginners.

      Okay so I happened to catch this comment fresh-out-of-the-oven and spent the last 30 minutes working on this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.zappy.app&#x2F;475bb0a1f788709fee92401ee6860bb3.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.zappy.app&#x2F;475bb0a1f788709fee92401ee6860bb3.png</a><p>I&#x27;m happy with that change! I&#x27;ll get it pushed live.<p>As for animations ... :grimacing: I&#x27;m afraid that&#x27;s beyond my current skill level lol.

    I played against the AI.<p>The red &quot;new game&quot; button is too visible. I pressed it twice in the first times, and then I learned to not press it. Perhaps it would be nice to hide it a little.<p>When the AI has an obvious move like in the case &quot;Ai Hu Hu Hu Hu &quot; , then the AI plays too fast. We made some games a long time ago and we added a minimal delay (like .2 seconds?) so it&#x27;s easier to understand that you play and later the AI plays. (Also, to make the computer seem smarted, because it has to think a lot :) .)

      I genuinely appreciate that feedback! I&#x27;ll get a minimal delay patched in tomorrow (plus a new approach to the New Game button).

        I like the new version.<p>Is it posible to make a bot that is not so good playing the game?

          I took a stab at it - there&#x27;s a new Beginner &#x2F; Intermediate &#x2F; Expert page when starting a solo game. :D<p>It&#x27;s tough striking a balance between too easy &#x2F; too tough. Let me know what you think if you give it a try!<p>I also added a Share button:<p>- Beginner: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phive.app&#x2F;replay&#x2F;9ZM3MH455K" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phive.app&#x2F;replay&#x2F;9ZM3MH455K</a><p>- Advanced: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phive.app&#x2F;replay&#x2F;M36SWRHR37" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phive.app&#x2F;replay&#x2F;M36SWRHR37</a>
