Re: [math-fun] Hackenbush applet?

Richard, about Hackenbush: "I don't think this was published until Winning Ways, where it's the first game we consider." Winning Ways was 1982. Martin Gardner already excerpted it ten years earlier (Scientific American, January 1972): "Conway calls the new game Hackenbush, but it has also been called Graph and Chopper, Lizzie Borden’s Nim and other names. The following description is taken from a chapter by Conway in 'Hackenbush, Welter, and Prune', a discussion of several nimlike games that will appear in an exciting book-in-progress by Elwyn R. Berlekamp, Conway and Richard K. Guy."
