I built the Matchbox for Hexapawn, detailed in National Geographic Kids!

I didn't know what a Jujube was, but I got the idea.

That Hexapawn article was my first introduction to AI as a kid, though I never actually built it.

Found it in a "Reader's Digest Young Persons annual" which my dad got when he was a kid in the 60s. I still have that.

The original article from Scientific American: https://people.csail.mit.edu/brooks/idocs/GardnerHexapawn.pd...
