Ddyer: /* Realtime playing sites */

Hex can be played online either using a web-based format or via e-mail.

=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 (approximatively ordered by the number of hex games played on them daily) are:
* [[igGameCenter]] for real-time play, with time settings, and ranking (it has many connection games).
* [[boardspace]] for real-time play
Boardspace will host a [http://boardspace.net/cgi-bin/tournament-signup.cgi Hex tournament] for Human players, starting on Jan 1 2011.
* http://www.ludoteka.com/ for real-time play
* http://games.wtanaka.com/hex for real-time or turn-based play
* http://havannah.vying.org for real-time play (it has both Hex and Havannah)

==Turn-based playing sites==

* [[Little Golem]] for turn-based play
* Less popular but also turn based is [http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv Richard's server]. One can play completely by e-mail, but it also has a [http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/List.php?Hex 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.)
