Hive is a project that brings the board game Hive to your web browser. Hive is a two-player strategy game where you place insect tiles on a table and move them around to surround your opponent's queen bee. This project recreates that experience digitally, so you can play it online without needing the physical board or tiles. The game is built entirely in JavaScript and renders the board and pieces on an HTML canvas element. Running the project locally is straightforward: you install its dependencies with a package manager like npm or yarn, then start it up. The game is still in development, so it is a work in progress rather than a finished product. This project would appeal to anyone who enjoys Hive and wants to play it on a computer. It could be useful for practicing strategy, testing out moves, or just playing casually without setting up the physical game. Board game enthusiasts and people who like to tinker with game clones in the browser are the most likely audience here. The README does not go into detail about specific features like online multiplayer, AI opponents, or which game rules are currently implemented. It is a fairly barebones overview, so anyone interested in the current state of the game would need to run it themselves to see what is and is not working yet. The choice to use a canvas element for rendering is a common approach for browser-based games, as it allows for flexible drawing of game pieces and interactive elements directly on the page.
