Did you make it so that it is possible to win every single game, provided it is played optimally? Or can some games be won by the computer, even if played optimally by the player?

Yeah man good game! I have never played this in real life but I like it. All you need is to make some kind of graphical representation of the matchsticks and keep track of the player's wins, losses, and forefitures. Also I had the problem where the wheel fades out before I can click anything. I got around this by holding the mouse over the number and scrolling my mouse wheel up one tick. It made it irritating to play but if you fix that it would be great.

Convert the sizes of the stacks to binary numbers and xor them. If the result is 0, you're screwed. If the result is non-0, make such a move to make it 0. But here it seems the game always gives you a winnable position (at least I never got a losing position in the beginning).

I like the fact that every game so far has been winnable by me (mathmatically speaking, took me a while to relearn how to apply the mental maths so a few dead ends)
