Havannah Helper is a 32-bit Windows program and thus requires Windows 95 or later to run.  (Windows 98, XP, Vista, etc.)  It also requires a minimum resolution of 1,024 by 768.

Current features:  

• Automatic loading of any Havannah game played at Little Golem
• The ability to load a game played at It's Your Turn by cutting and pasting the move notation
• Move forward and backward through the game
• Animate an entire game - view entire games with no keyboard or mouse clicks
• Try different lines and variations

There are many items on my To DO list... check back regularly for updates!

You can download the program here.    This file, called extract-havannah.exe, is a self-extracting zip file.  Simply save this file to your own computer and then run this file to extract the program files from the archive.  

Once the files are extracted, you should have a total of six files in your folder:

The havannah-helper.exe file is the executable file you need to run.  
(The other five files must be present in this same folder.)

• Added logic to incorporate the swap rule for reviewing previously played games and when starting a new game.
• Increased the number of games an eventual database will hold to 10,000.
• Reduced the size and location of the VCR-buttons. (They were too large for the new base-10 board.)
• Relocated the Little Golem Game Number Box. (It didn't fit in the old location on the new base-10 board.)
