Puzzle server

From HexWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The idea of this page is to collect the requirements to develop an online and offline hex puzzle server. It would let the user add puzzles to a database and let others solve the puzzles. Popular sites that have already implemented this idea for other games are http://goproblems.com/ and http://chessproblems.com/.

Matthew Seymour has created a website with 500 interactive Hex puzzles at http://www.mseymour.ca/hex_puzzle/hexpuzzle.html

Online version

  • Web server
  • User interface to the puzzles (JavaScript, Java, or Flash)
  • Database for recording the problems

Offline version

  • User interface (platform independent -> Java)
  • Database for recording the problems
