PlayHex
PlayHex is a website for playing Hex online. It supports all board sizes from 1x1 to 80x80, and flexible time controls for both real-time and turn-based play. It also provides AI opponents of various strengths, including a very strong version of KataHex. Moreover, the website offers almost instantaneous AI-based game analysis.
Open source development
The PlayHex project, including the Hex server and client, is free software under an open source license. Its creator and principal developer is Alcalyn, with additional contributions by Comonoid and others. The source code is hosted on GitHub.
History
Development started in December 2022 and the playhex.org domain was registered at the same time. On December 18, 2023, an early version of the still unnamed PlayHex website was made available to the community on the Hex Discord Forum. The site went live at playhex.org in February 2024. As of May 2024, the project continues to be under active development.
