Nice game. But after opening the money box, looks like the box overlaps with the game when it starts again:

I played the browser version.

Another thing I noticed: the game ends for the player, if the piece moves to a place where it can't move with the next move. But the computer can move in such a place, and the next level starts only, if the player moves, and then it is the computers turn. Should be the same behavior. I think would make more sense that a player loses only when it is his turn, and he can't move anymore (so the computer behavior).

BTW, I really like the game idea, and would like to write my own version of the game. Game ideas are not protected, but I could also name it Spreads, if you don't mind, and add a link to your original game on my page, if you like. I think I can implement a much improved computer player. Would give you the source code for it, so that you can integrate it in your game as well.

here is my “yes” to all your ideas, but! not to source code :)

Cool, thanks! I've started with the game: https://frank-buss.de/tmp/spreads/ The computer player is still very weak, it is a simple minimax search algorithm, but I found a developer at Upwork who says he can implement a better one. I think would be also fun to allow different board sizes, like 8x8, or 10x10.

The enhanced computer player is done, same link. I can't beat it anymore. A friend who played it for hours, can beat it sometimes.
