About the application:

Omweso also known as Mweso is a board mini game from Uganda (in Africa). It is a very hard and quick mini game said to hold one's mind active, which can create it addictive. How to play Play consists of turns, each move may involve a few laps. A user moves by choosing a pit with at least two seeds, and sowing them one by one around their side of the board in a counter-clockwise direction from the starting pit. The user may only sow from one of the sixteen pits in their place, and the sowing proceeds around this place, not directly involving the opponent's side. If the latest sowed seed lands in an occupied pit then all seeds in that pit, including the one just placed, are immediately sown, before the opponent's turn. This continues until the latest sowing ends in an empty pit. If the latest seed sown lands in one of the player's eight inner pits, which is occupied, and furthermore both the opponent's pits in this same column are occupied, then all seeds from these two pits are captured and sown starting from the pit where this capturing lap began Instead of sowing in a counter-clockwise direction, a user may sow clockwise from any of their four leftmost pits if this results in a capture. Upon re-entering these reverse-captured seeds, the user may sow them clockwise once more, if and only if this play results in a direct capture. The user may also select to sow reverse-captured seeds in the usual counter-clockwise manner, and there is no compulsion to play one direction or the another when the choice is accessible. During a relay-sowing move, one lap of which ends at one of the four leftmost pits, a user may also change direction and start sowing the next leg of the move clockwise, if and only if this play results in a direct capture.
