AI Analysis

●MidCozyShip It

Well-crafted Chopsticks game, but the genre is solved and niche.

Strengths

•Clean, intuitive UI with clear turn-based mechanics and difficulty scaling from beginner to optimal AI.
•Scalable opponent AI — 'Impossible' mode uses game-theoretic optimal play, not just heuristics.
•Personal origin story (teaching moment with daughter) gives genuine heart to an otherwise narrow scope.

Weaknesses

•Chopsticks is a solved niche game with limited replay value — no leaderboards, no variants, no multiplayer.
•No mobile optimization apparent; finger-counting game on touchscreen is natural fit but unclear if tested.

Post Description

A little weekend project with my daughter to show her what computers can do and as an added bonus, help her practice this schoolyard finger counting game.
