About:
Hexgui is a graphical user interface designed for playing the game of Hex. It communicates using the Hex Text Protocol, allowing it to act as a client that connects to game servers or other compatible engines. This tool provides a visual environment for analyzing moves and managing game sessions.
Key Features:
  • Graphical interface for the Hex board game
  • Supports Hex Text Protocol for server communication
  • Move analysis and game state visualization
  • Cross-platform Java application
Use Cases:
  • Playing Hex games against AI or human opponents over a network
  • Analyzing Hex game records and board states visually
Alternatives:
  • Cgoban – Cgoban is primarily for Go (Baduk), whereas Hexgui is specifically for Hex.
  • Terminal-based Hex clients – Hexgui offers a graphical board representation instead of ASCII/terminal output.
