Mancala3D

Mancala3D is my African version of Mancala, based on a game I played while growing up. The Android and computer game grew out of an earlier search-algorithm project comparing random/brute-force, heuristic, minimax, and alpha-beta approaches for game-playing agents. I later treated it as a more stable and user-friendly version than the research prototype, releasing it on the Android app store.

A personal bridge between culture, software craft, and search algorithm experimentation.
