My cousin and I love the Terraforming Mars board game. But we'd often get overly excited and knock our pieces off of our boards, losing track of our progress. So I digitised it. It comes with a few cool features like resource conversions (e.g. converting plants to greenery), production phase, offline, mobile-friendly and keeps track of the history using the browser history itself. Sharing this here in case there are any other TM fans that could also find some use in this :)
Neat idea! However one issue with everyone using a digital tracker is that you can't then easily see what other player resource stockpiles and production levels are. Perhaps at the very top of the screen you could have a compact summary view that people can leave their screen at when not making adjustments, allowing other players to see the stats at a glance.
Knocking the trackers off is a real issue, however, a great non-digital solution to that is the wooden laser-cut boards with physical notches for the cube slots - e.g. <a href="https://github.com/cophus/terraforming-mars-board">https://github.com/cophus/terraforming-mars-board</a> and the many other options if you google or search etsy.
Nice, there's also a Vassal Terraforming Mars module. Vassal provides a client-server shared board game state for lots of boardgame modules you can also make yourself. It's java based.

Very nice! This could easily be adapted to the Ares Expedition expansion/other game thing:<p>Remove production of titanium and steel, remove energy entirely. Players start at 5 TL and 0 production everywhere. They can also produce cards, maybe add a pop-up like "draw x cards now!" Whenever production happens?
I thought this was like that one Twilight Struggle companion digital board that was pretty much the physical board but digital (which allows you to play with just the cards) since this covers just the resources mat. Still neato though.
I can't figure out how to play. I'm on a screen where there are - + buttons for various properties with a "Production Phase" button.<p>Whatever I do, nothing happens when I tap that button.
Bottom of the page is hidden behind the production phase on Firefox on Android: <a href="https://ibb.co/6PYz5WB" rel="nofollow">https://ibb.co/6PYz5WB</a>
Very nice!<p>Might consider this for our next game.<p>Would you consider adding a +-10 button to the megacredits (and maybe heat)?<p>It would be a good timesaver for large purchases
Neat! Also, I'mma just gonna leave this here...<p><a href="https://terraforming-mars.herokuapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://terraforming-mars.herokuapp.com/</a><p>(no, not something I've made)
