Found some typos, i'm not a native speaker, but this sounds better to me Objectif -> Objective The game is played in two times -> The game is played in two stages colored with our color -> colored with your color If the ant exit the grid -> If the ant leaves the grid

I think that matches should go by pair (as positions first player / second player are not equivalent) : There should always be two matches together between the 2 selected players: First player A - Second player B (match 1) First player B - Second player A (match 2) I like this puzzle very much ! Thank you !

I have already thought about this but I don’t find how easily do this but I think that the random choice of the position of a player will not impact his ranking. Althought, I will search again how to do this. Thanks for your remarks

It would be great to add some manual game parameters for : - dimension - number_rounds - pathLength

It's not possible in multiplayers games as we can do in In/Out puzzles. I choose to fix this three parameters but I can randomize them for higher leagues. Do you think it can be more interesting ?

The game seems very nice! However, one detail disturbs me: rows and columns seem to be reversed.

I don't find where row and columns are reversed. Can you tell me where you see it please ?

What do the leagues do? There does not appear to be any functional differences, but yet the description is different in some of them (e.g. "both players" is pluralized in some leagues but "both player" in others). If the intention is to have stages to separate well-performing players from the beginners, you might want to start with just a few leagues and update the game to have more leagues afterwards (like once a week or something)

My intention is to propose at the beginning 5 leagues : 2 solos and a first easy boss for duels in order to understand the game (woods leagues) and 2 others bosses a little harder but not for elite players. Later I can add some harder if the challenge is appreciated. It's better to do otherwise ?

I like this the game already. But as a little suggestion, maybe you could add a "pin" in the replay for when the ant starts moving. (just like how in locam you have it for when the battle starts). So you can quickly jump to the overview with all the tiles filled and before the ant moves. Anway, thank you for the contribution :)

Good idea, I added it. Thank you :)

I like the idea! When testing, the title appears not very nicely as : Langton's Ant - Niveau 1 Thank you for this puzzle :)

A remark : You can try all leagues selecting them in the upper right corner of the IDE. I say this because I see submission only on the first league and it's not the most interesting.

You have weird spaces after "Line 2" and "Line 3" right before the colon; "Two integer" should be plural; "et" is weird and I assume you want "and"
