Worked for me eventually on Firefox / Linux. Definitely has a slow start on first load.

#5Neat idea! The computer keeps beating me with its basic strategy.
I also managed to get the die stuck on a side with an edge pointing up, to where the game couldn't choose a face. I thought it was going to brick the game, but it detected this and re-rolled the die. Nice!

#6Totally changes the game for me. Makes it so that you (almost) never want to play the middle square unless your hand is forced.
Also reminds me of how I was playing Senet last night. I controlled the game until the very end, where by chance, I kept rolling "bad" numbers and my opponent kept rolling "good" numbers.

Middle square is actually pretty good. Solid odds of the opponent giving you a layup with a bad break.

Thanks for that, I added a loading bar. It should be visible now if you refresh the page.

#9I love this!
Quick feature request: the die-roll is really cool, but can you make a lower-latency version so I can play more games in less time?

#10Brilliant! Makes a simple children's game very interesting. One aspect I really enjoy is that it makes clear the knee-jerk response towards action bias[0]. There are times when your opponent has two-in-a-row, but the probability of a frown on the third is > 50%, in which case it's in my interest to have my opponent click on the third square instead of me (but even knowing that cognitively, it's still hard to not action).
