Territorial — Smarter AI Player

Territorial



Introducing... "Territorial - Dots and Boxes!" A new twist on the old dots and boxes game!


Based on the dots and boxes game that everyone knows and loves! Instead of squares you play with hexagons. No need to drag from dot to dot, simply tap a wall to make a move. Whoever closes in the last side of any hexagon tile will claim that tile and get another turn. Player with the most tiles wins!

This is a very early beta release and it might be buggy. Expect updates often as new features and game play are added.



What's New (in version 0.0.2)

  • Better logic for the computer player
  • Split screen compatibility

Get it on Google Play

Road Map

  • Onboarding tutorial. Start the app with one tile and let the player learn the game mechanics before opening up to the full app.
  • Selectable difficulty levels for the AI computer.
  • Menu options to contact the developer, rate the app, and view this developer blog.
  • Player statistics.
  • Matches! Right now you play one layer, but with "matches" more layers will be stacked on top to form a 3D almost pyramid type of shape. The first layer becomes the base and each layer stacked on top gets smaller as the match is played. Each time you finish one layer a new layer will start but only the tiles from the winning player will advance to the next level of the match. Those tiles will then be playable by anyone. Players can win layers and can win the whole match. The match will end as soon as one player owns the entire layer.
