Asymmetric 2‑player strategy
A checkers-like logic game where one side controls a single Wolf piece and the other side controls four Sheep pieces, creating different tactics and goals for each player.
Simple diagonal movement rules
Played only on the dark squares: pieces move diagonally to an adjacent empty square; Sheep move forward only, while the Wolf can move both forward and backward.
Clear win conditions + adjustable AI
The Wolf wins by reaching the opposite baseline; the Sheep win by surrounding/trapping the Wolf so it has no legal moves. You can also play against the program and set the opponent difficulty (easy/normal/hard).
