Read about Tak here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ch ... tiful-game

Tak is sort of a cross between checkers and Go. My friend wrote an artificial intelligence tool that could play the game at a pretty high level, but had no user-friendly interface. I changed that, with this!

You all obviously know how to computer, so just

Code: Select all

 git clone https://github.com/asgardiator/tak-ai; cd tak-ai; love .
and you'll be good to go!

You can play against real humans on playtak.com.

Could you make a self-contained version as a .love and upload it here?

I tried; it wasn't working for some reason. Clicking on the .love file simply opens the archive. :/
My game also uses libraries outside of LOVE, such as http://torch.ch/ and I could not find a viable way to bundle those within the game -- for regular use, they have to be installed, and i'm almost positive the same is true here. Also, Torch is Unix-only :(

A .love file is an archive; the fact that your file manager is smart enough to detect that and not execute it with löve means absolutely nothing bad; my total commander on windows opens .iso files as archives too, instead of mounting them, for example. It will work for others, or they can right click, and assign it to löve or something.

Now this might be an issue :3
