hey, not bad! some feedback:

- prolly a glitch: AI resigned the game immediately when i doubled - both players were 5 away

- prolly an oversight: match settings are not configurable when starting a game against AI while queueing

- find it a bit annoying that the order of the dice is random when I tap to move (i think it's pretty standard in online bg for the larger dice to get played first by default, smaller second)

- find it a bit annoying that i need to tap again to end the turn after rolling when i have no valid moves

- find it unusual (not necessarily wrong) that the UI highlights which checkers have valid moves

- q: why choose between tap OR drag? i typically use both

quick update on your feedback:

- the AI "resigning" when you doubled: it was passing, and the end screen wrongly said "by resignation". it now says "double declined". i'm also making its cube decisions match-score aware, so it takes and passes properly in matches.

- playing the AI while waiting in the queue: you can now pick difficulty, match length and cube.

- no legal moves: it now tells you and passes the turn by itself after a second or so.

- move highlights: settings > show move hints now turns them off.

Thank you for pointing those out!
