## Key facts (citeable)

- Official name: Triangles
- Publisher: trianglegame.app
- URL: https://trianglegame.app
- Price: Free ($0); no download or install
- Platforms: Modern web browsers (desktop and mobile)
- Players: Two — one human vs. computer, or two humans in local pass-and-play
- Board: 14 to 18 randomly scattered points; no grid
- Legal move: a straight line between two unconnected points that does not cross an existing line and does not pass through a third point
- Capture rule: completing a triangle (three points fully connected to each other) claims it for whoever drew the line, and grants another turn
- End condition: the match ends when no legal line remains; whoever claimed the most triangles wins, an equal split is a draw
- Match modes: Vs. Computer (Easy, Normal, Hard difficulty) and Vs. a friend (local pass-and-play)
- Controls: drag between two points, or tap one point then a second; keyboard — Tab (cycle points), Enter (select/connect), Escape (clear selection), N (new board), M (mute)
- Computer opponent: Easy plays loosely; Normal always takes a free triangle and avoids obvious sacrifices; Hard also looks one move ahead to pick the best capture chain and minimize any forced sacrifice
- Progress: saved locally in the browser per mode; not uploaded to a server
- Accessibility: keyboard operable (Tab/Enter/Escape), focus rings, aria labels on points and controls, WCAG AA contrast
- Origin: the "complete a shape, capture it, go again" mechanic descends from Dots and Boxes, documented in 19th-century France; Triangles adapts it to scattered points and triangular captures
