Source and license

Source revision: 39b422bbd456f1434f2076061f8100c43010e2ef. The MIT license and copyright notice are included. The original pure Nucleation engine, hex-board construction, group scoring, dice and related helpers are retained as local ES modules. Only import paths were changed to flatten the bundle. Read the game engine and new interface controller.

This edition

Choose a 37- or 61-bed board, a local computer or two people at one device. This edition switches the optional opening swap off. The computer uses a bounded colony-growth heuristic; it is not the original repository's MCTS player. Native buttons provide pointer, touch and keyboard controls. Undo restores the full turn and random sequence. No account, backend, database, or remote gameplay assets are needed.

The moss beds and amber and blue mushroom clusters are original GPT-generated images for Dewgather. They are optimized transparent WebP files used directly as the board and playing pieces. Original interface and adaptation code are MIT licensed. Mushroom shapes are decorative game tokens, not biological identification.

All source and assets are flat local files. Serve index.html and its neighboring files from any static web root. No build step or persistent game server is required. A reload starts a fresh game.
