There is a game, Arimaa, that was invented after humans finally got beat at Chess by machines. The idea was, design it so that the rules would be very easy for humans, but very difficult for computers. Also, make it playable (albeit less fun) with a standard Chess board. Unfortunately, it didn’t take that long for computers to beat us at that too… However, it’s still a really really cool game!

The community is tiny however, and there hasn’t been any way to play online for a while, afaik. I just want a simple Android or web app for playing against bots, or more ambitiously, against other people. If I were to do it myself, I’d probably use Haxe since that’s what I know, but honestly I’m not very good at coding.

If one existed, we could start a Lemmy community for it, and try to revitalize the Arimaa fanbase a bit. Maybe even use it to organize some small tournaments.
