openhex's Issues

Entity highlight is never removed

Reproduce:

• Start a game
• Take an unit
• Place it on a defended hex
• The defending entity becomes red with an alert message
• Then wait 10 seconds or place unit elsewhere

Expected:

• The highlighted unit is no longer highlighted

Actual:

• Still red until another unit highlights

Stop the game when win or lose

Currently, when we have conquered the full world, nothing happens.

The game should display an ending screen when there is only one player (player or IA) still alive.

Coop campaign

Create a campaign playable with a friend.

It is a multiplayer campaign, and we need our friend to pass levels

Campaign

Create a campaign, mobile-friendly way to play.

It could be a list of games to play, difficulty increasing, including a scenario...

Multiplayer

Allow to play with friends.

Lobby management:

• Automatically join a game
• Create a game
• Display current games
• Join a game...

Progressive web app

There is already a mobile app built with Expo: https://github.com/alcalyn/openhex-mobile

But it is only a webview.

Following PWA standards should allow us to easily get OpenHex as an application.

Game ending screen

When the game ends on a win or loss, currently, the game just stops.

There should be a winning/losing screen to display at least who won the game, and a way to go back to create a new game.

Capitals not merged when joining kingdoms

I have noticed that capitals sometimes aren't merged. I don't recall doing something unusual when it occures. This time, the kingdoms merged when the guy with the purple arrow moved to that hexagon from the upper kingdom:

Game feels laggy

As soon as we are on a big map with few units, game already feels laggy when dragging it.

We should be able to drag map on bigger-than-big maps without any lags.

IA is boring and too easy

The current IA is a simplist algorithm that capture random hexs, never upgrade units and often crashes so skip its turn. It has been developped for development testing.

It should have a better IA, or maybe, allow to load IA from external source so that anyone can develop an IA and let others load it like a plugin.
