Earlier this week I posted about how I got inspired to build this game with react:

Today I checked in an update.
The new features now include:

• 2 Player mode (switching turn by turn)
• New game button
• Showing statistics (how many % of 50% to win)
• New logo / favicon
• Option: show owner on cell
• Option: show number of cells acquired by color in button suggestion

Here is a Demo hosted on GitHub:

Next up

• Implement CPU opponent
• Implement different solving strategies

Filler game as react app!

cd filler-game-react
yarn
yarn start

Tweaks

Suggestions

Right now the game finds the best next step simply by calculating the max number of cells possibly to acquire with each color and using the max value as suggestion. The button with that color will be rendered with a border. If there are more than one equal possibillities, only the first is taken into consideration.

Solving algorhythm

At the moment there is no algorhythm to take steps automatically. Take on the challenge, create solvers under the ./src/solver/ path and share them!

Debugging with Visual Studio Code

First install the extension Chrome Debugger to your VSCode instance.

Run yarn start in your terminal, set your breakpoints in VSCode and press F5 to start debugging.

Thank you!
Such feedback is what I need to keep going, I'll expect the CPU update to be finished by mid next week :)
