Dots and Boxes in Elm

In plain words

Dots and Boxes in Elm is a digital version of the classic pencil-and-paper game built with the Elm programming language. Players take turns drawing lines between dots, and whoever completes the fourth side of a box claims it. The game is designed for anyone looking to play the traditional strategy game online. It demonstrates how Elm, a functional programming language, can be used to create interactive web-based games.
