2005 was a long long time ago, so the Quest-Qrew have been given a slight makeover.

As I plough ahead without too much of a plan, I'm having to make a lot of quick decisions along the way.

The Quest
20th May 2019
Heavy decade-old Sprite Reuse, ahoy!
Those doors look dumb.. I really need to rethink how I'm going to draw the doors.
Hmmm.
However, it doesn't look "awful", and I think that's ok!
I'll probably spend the next few days trying to get "just" the right style for the doors. Big enough that it looks like a nice big door, but small enough that it doesn't overlap the players when they're on the square "behind" the door.
Tricky to get these things just right, and I might yet wimp...

Mancala Laps
Blog
19th May 2019
I've added "Laps" to Mancala in the ShoeBox, but ... crikey, is it hard to keep track of!
AL is utterly baffled by this new style of play, so don't expect him to be a great challenge. If I can find a good method of play, I'll work that into AL's brain, but for the minute, he's a bit dumb in this mode.
.. To be fair, so am I, and the Laps mode ends up being a game of Pot Luck!
You can Play Mancala in the Shoebox, in the "One on One" section. The Laps setting is in the Rules.

I should really finish off Mancala's "Laps" stuff. I think that's probably going to be today's task.
But after that, what game comes next?

A smallish, but needed improvement to ALs Mancala abilities.
Players of v0.9858 should find that ALs a little bit smarter, targeting your possible captures, as well as aiming for his Mancala pot a little better.
It's not "much" of a change, but he is a bit harder.
I've not yet added Laps into the mix!
Maybe tomorrow?

Crikey, RSKGames has already sent his Player Thoughts..
Guess I'd better hurry up and get those last few tweaks in place..
@RSKGamesI have never played this game before so it was fresh and fun for me. After 2 defeats and some reading of the rules I got the hang of it and was able to beat the AI few times.Views 111, Upvotes 26

Game

The ancient board games of Seeds and Pits.
Move all of the seeds from one of your pits, moving anti-clockwise, and dropping one seed at a time. If you "land" on your large Mancala pit, you earn an extra go. The winner is the player with the most seeds in their Mancala, once no more moves are possible. Views 176, Upvotes 40

Spent a couple of hours, late last night, trying to find the best rules to give AL when playing Mancala.

Mancala's coming along nicely, now. I think!!
All the Landing rules seem to be working, and the game-end stuff is also functional, but AL's still not very good at the game, so a little more work on AL is needed.
But, definitely getting there!
*phew*

The seeds (gems in this case) of Mancala are now managing to complete a full circle!
