I played against the AI.

The red "new game" button is too visible. I pressed it twice in the first times, and then I learned to not press it. Perhaps it would be nice to hide it a little.

When the AI has an obvious move like in the case "Ai Hu Hu Hu Hu " , then the AI plays too fast. We made some games a long time ago and we added a minimal delay (like .2 seconds?) so it's easier to understand that you play and later the AI plays. (Also, to make the computer seem smarted, because it has to think a lot :) .)

I genuinely appreciate that feedback! I'll get a minimal delay patched in tomorrow (plus a new approach to the New Game button).
I like the new version.

Is it posible to make a bot that is not so good playing the game?

I took a stab at it - there's a new Beginner / Intermediate / Expert page when starting a solo game. :D

It's tough striking a balance between too easy / too tough. Let me know what you think if you give it a try!

I also added a Share button:

- Beginner: https://phive.app/replay/9ZM3MH455K

- Advanced: https://phive.app/replay/M36SWRHR37

I finaly won a game! Agaist the easy bot :)
