Viktory II Komputer

A Komputer opponent / autopilot for Viktory II.

Add a computer opponent to Viktory II on the free GamesByEmail website under the Preview tab - http://GamesByEmail.com/Games/Viktory2#Preview - and use experimental features like dark mode, touch screen support, a custom board builder, and support for large maps, allowing the Komputer to join multiplayer (3-play) games as well. For anyone who hasn't played yet: Viktory II looks a bit like Civilization or Catan, and it plays like a speedy game of Risk and Axis & Allies. After reading the simple rules on GamesByEmail, you can try to conquer the Viktory II Komputer, then play versus up to 8 friends for the ultimate challenge. Special thanks to the GamesByEmail Viktory II author and to the original Viktory II board game inventor for their encouragement. As a single American hobbyist developer in Japan, I've tested this extension locally and do hope it works well - any mistakes are my own. To use, just add to Chrome, and it'll be ready anytime the Preview tab is open. To use on a large map, resign the default game and select your options. To use in multiplayer, from the game page, press the Extension (puzzle-shaped) Button next to the address bar and select the Viktory icon to add the controls for a local Komputer player. Details on security - on install, Chrome gives a message that the extension can read and change data from GamesByEmail (true, to play the game) and read tab browsing data, which is also true - only in that it waits for the correct GamesByEmail URL in the address bar, via the Chrome tabs API, and then loads this extension. This extension can be easily uninstalled or disabled by going to chrome://extensions. Here also, the permissions can be confirmed, or the load behavior can be verified under "Viktory II Komputer" by clicking "Inspect views - service worker" (a few lines of code, hopefully readable enough for anyone). The rest of the game code can be checked anytime by right-clicking on the Viktory II preview page and then "Inspect" or via my GitHub: https://github.com/Stephen-Montague/ViktoryII-Komputer If you'd like to code your own version, give ideas, or share war stories - please feel free to contact me, until this extension gets so extraordinarily popular that I can't keep up. Have a good one.
