This is a somewhat innocent question, I'm not an app developer.
tl;dr I believe my central question to be: Is it possible to play ludemes against the AI used by the Web player via an API instead?
Context: I would like to build (and potentially commercially distribute) a (physical) board with pieces such that the board can be used to play a large range of different games from Ludii. However, since people will not in general know them, in order to help them develop a feeling for game strategies, I would love to provide a (free) app alongside in which the pieces look the same as on my physical board, and where they can play those games against a computer. Currently, I could simply send them to the web player, but it would be very nice if the design of the pieces/board on the screen corresponded to the design of the physical pieces/board, so with access to an API I could build a web app using my own game layout but interact with Ludii via the API.
Cheers, Paul
