VISUAL GOBAN

The traditional game of Go (also called Weiqi or Baduk) re-imagined to today's design; modern pixel art with vibrant color palette, animations for placing and capturing stones, mobile support and zoom / scrolling function.

The game's dynamics consist of placing white (blue) and black (red) stones on the intersections of the board, taking turns.

Each player is assigned a color before starting (black starts the game), and once a stone is placed, it cannot be moved. However, it is possible to capture a stone or a group of stones and remove them from the board if they are completely surrounded by the opposite color.

The objective of the game is to control more than 50% of the board's area, which usually consists of a 19x19 grid. To control an area, it is necessary to create a perimeter using stones of the same color.
