About
<p>
Twixt resources created by me:
<p>
http://twixt-commentator.duckdns.org/ <b>Twixt Commentator</b> - a site for adding comments to Twixt games from Little Golem. Hopefully a good learning resource. Source code is at https://github.com/ahensel/twixt-commentator
<p>
http://www.ibiblio.org/twixtpuzzles/ <b>Twixt Puzzles</b> - a JS-based interactive site with Alex Randolph's 40 puzzles, plus a bunch more. Please inform me of any positions you notice in a game that might make a good puzzle! Or issue a pull request at https://github.com/ahensel/twixt-puzzles

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jmp1BkcyuXhybAWa7YlUJEmxgVqAcWDBj8FK2_QvYgw/edit?usp=sharing <b>Twixt First Move Statistics</b> - What's the best first move in Twixt? Well, what did people play, and how did it turn out? (Note: I haven't updated this since 2013, but it does include 42000 games and 10 years worth of data.)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZIazHEo-Zv2DxeWTmS4WOnfBXRu0gP-fxsgoJxk559I/edit?usp=sharing <b>TwixtBot's First Moves</b> - What does TwixtBot think the best first move is? Well, I have no insider info, but we can figure it out by careful observation. This is interestingly different from the above human first move statistics. (Note: this has not been automated; I update it by hand.)

This is a little rough around the edges, but I have a Codepen that demonstrates drawing a Twixt board of any size, using only CSS and HTML -- no JS. It's just the board; no pegs or links. https://codepen.io/ahensel/pen/xxPRbwb
