The-sowing-oracle

The Sowing Oracle Growing up, I saw Ayò and Oware played everywhere in Africa but almost never in games actually built for African players. So I built one. The Sowing Oracle is a strategy game based on the real African sowing game the same game known as Ayò in Nigeria, Oware in Ghana, Gebeta in Ethiopia, and Omweso in Uganda. You sow seeds around the board and try to capture your opponent's, using the real, traditional rules. But there's a twist: at the end of every match, an AI oracle looks at how you played and gives you a short "reading" like a fortune, made just for that match. No two readings are ever the same. You can play against a real AI opponent with four difficulty levels, play with a friend on one phone, or play online with someone else using a room code. It's built fully mobile-first, so it works on any phone. I built this alone, from scratch, using Dala Studio, for the CANEX Create-Thon 2026, as a 3MTT fellow. My goal was simple: show that our own games and traditions deserve real, polished, modern technology not just as decoration, but as the actual heart of the game. am willing to take it further after the create-thon. and it will become the first african game to be Duild from scratch using Dala studio. the more the game mudle upgrade; the more I polish the game.
