Pick a game below. Every game runs locally in JavaScript, uses simple buttons/cells, and is designed to be lightweight enough for the portfolio site. Chess includes a compact alpha-beta minimax AI. The multiplayer panel can match two ready visitors, open chat, start optional camera/video/audio, and synchronize the supported duel games. First player chooses the game; second player controls the old AI side. Revision 11 re-enables microphone sound for speaking while keeping the local preview muted to reduce echo.

Match with another player

Check the option when you want to play with someone else on the website. The first ready player becomes player 1 and chooses the game. The second ready player becomes player 2 and controls the old AI side in supported games.

Not searching. Check “Ready for multiplayer” to enter the queue.

Camera uses browser WebRTC and normally needs HTTPS or localhost. To reduce bandwidth on Android/mobile connections, video stays around 256 × 192 at 10 fps, and microphone sound is enabled with echo cancellation. Your own preview stays muted to reduce feedback. Tap the other player video if the browser blocks remote sound. Multiplayer board sync is active for Three-in-a-Row, Four-in-a-Line, Dots & Boxes, and Chess.
