WebApp for a Eclipse board game calculator

This is a web application for a board game calculator. The game is called Eclipse and it is a 4X game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate). The game is played on a hexagonal grid and the players have to manage their resources, research new technologies, build ships and conquer new territories.

For a given ship battle, this calculator gives the win chance, and the survival chance for each ship. The calculator doesn't use a Monte Carlo method to simulate the battle, but it uses advanced tools of decision theory known as Bellman value function programming to compute win chance.

The website is hosted on a Flask server and you can access it here.
