- Hexplode
Hexplode is a
computer board game originally designed for theBBC Micro but since ported to many other platforms. The board comprises anarray of 25hexagonal cells. Its novel feature for a two-player alternate-turns game is that when the number of tokens in each cell reaches acritical threshold , the cell "hexplodes" such that the contents of the cell are equally distributed to each of theadjacent cells. This process can often generate achain reaction which means that predicting the outcome of a turn is quite difficult for human players.History
The game first appeared in the British magazine
Personal Computer World as a program for theBBC Micro . Its author was J Ansell.External links
