Gamers, I am spooked as hell. Someone has just informed me that their software dev friend/s are interested in programming a playable veney engine and that there are at least two of these in the works:
https://github.com/cdleong/play-veney
https://github.com/nightpool/veney-ori
Probably shouldn't get ahead of myself here, but this is very cool news. From my limited understanding, it sounds like they're both aiming to create representations of the board playable by humans, the first going so far as to write in the logic of the rules for allowable movements and their necessary results—neither yet approaching anything like a veney bot. Regardless, I am feeling a bit Frankensteinian.
