Four at the table with a double-six set: five tiles each and a boneyard, the first double a spinner that opens four ways, and every multiple of five on the ends scored as it falls. Three computer players who count what the table can see and never a hand, and talk the whole time. Served at games.jcoffey.dev/dominoes/, built from this repository.

## What this is
|
|
|
|
An independent implementation of All Fives, the domino game, written from
|
|
scratch in TypeScript in 2026: one human against three computer players.
|
|
|
|
## The game
|
|
|
|
Dominoes is centuries old and belongs to everybody; so do All Fives and its
|
|
spinner. The rules here follow the published descriptions at
|
|
[pagat.com](https://www.pagat.com/domino/cross/all_fives.html), with the house
|
|
rules stated on the landing page. Rules are ideas, not expression, and nothing
|
|
of anybody's text is reproduced.
|
|
|
|
## What is ours
|
|
|
|
Everything else: the rules engine, the layout, the bots and their reasoning,
|
|
the table talk, the interface, the music and every other sound effect, and
|
|
every word on screen. Every tile is drawn in code, and every sound but one is
|
|
synthesized in code; there are no image files.
|
|
|
|
## The shuffle
|
|
|
|
The one recorded sound is the shuffle, in `src/audio/shuffle.mp3`: the first
|
|
3.6 seconds of **"Shuffling Dominos" by RobertWulfman** on Freesound,
|
|
|
|
- <https://freesound.org/people/RobertWulfman/sounds/220839/>, CC0 1.0
|
|
(public domain dedication)
|
|
|
|
trimmed, leveled and faded at both ends for this game. CC0 asks for nothing,
|
|
not even credit. It is credited anyway, because it was the only shuffle that
|
|
sounded like a shuffle. If the file cannot be loaded, the game falls back to a
|
|
synthesized one.
