Contents
Web-based games
Web-based games can be played either in real-time, where moves are made within minutes (or even seconds), or turn-based, where a player has days for one move.
Realtime playing sites
The most popular sites are
- boardspace (http://boardspace.net/) for real-time play
- http://www.ludoteka.com/ for real-time play
- http://games.wtanaka.com/hex for real-time or turn-based play
- igGameCenter (http://www.iggamecenter.com/) for real-time play, with time settings, and ranking.
Turn-based playing sites
- Little Golem for turn-based play
- Less popular but also turn based is Richard's server. One can play completely by e-mail, but it also has a graphical interface now. Furthermore any sized board is supported.
E-mail-based games
Hex may also be played over e-mail, in a turn-based fashion. The board can be represented in ASCII using either the full or compact formats below. The full layout is rotated 90 degrees from the compact one. (A fixed-width font is required for either board to display correctly in an e-mail client.)
