Has some form of AI usage

MaMills is the developer's digital interpretation of an old board game: the design and every decision about how it looks, plays and feels are theirs. AI tools helped build it, with much of the code and parts of the visuals and interface. The developer reviewed, tested and refined every piece.Nothing is generated while you play. The Machine, your computer opponent, is classic board-game logic that looks a few moves ahead.Not a generative AI, and the game sends no data to any AI service.The cylinder drop sounds were made by the developer. The music is "Deliberate Thought" by Kevin MacLeod, and the Halloween theme plays "The Black Waltz" by Scott Buckley.
