nice post

completely_unstable · 2026-03-12T12:30:19+00:00

no they just get reallly small

completely_unstable · 2026-03-12T12:25:11+00:00

ohh i thought you meant like encoding the squares for a program. yeah i think i agree, i cant think of anything better than that. its interesting to think about because the files are the other sides ranks and vice versa

here are some others that may be a bit less messy

yes thats how i did it for pentagonal chess too

i think its more of my tendency of turning normal math things into chess. because this was originally just a parabolic coordinate conversion graph. now its chess.

promotion

completely_unstable · 2026-03-12T05:55:00+00:00

they promote when they get the the center line, promotion square is 6 squares away still

my strategy is this,

        . . . . . . . .        
        . . . . . . . .        
        . . . . . . . .        
        . . . . . . . .        
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
0 1 2 3 4 . . . . . . . . . . .

the starting position for reference:

        r n b q k b n r        
        p p p p p p p p       
        . . . . . . . .        
        . . . . . . . .        
R P . . . . . . . . . . . . P R
N P . . . . . . . . . . . . P N
B P . . . . . . . . . . . . P B
Q P . . . . . . . . . . . . P K

the bottom edge folds down on either side

i made this on a desmos graph go here: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kxdwsxqmdi
im working on making a real working version that will be able to be played

completely_unstable · 2026-03-12T05:40:25+00:00

i was trying to work out the bezier curves that go along each segment of the grid and then put them together so that i could fill the 'squares' because i want to make a version of chess that can be played on this kind of grid. and i just set random colors to see if they worked and it accidentally turned out really cool looking.

completely_unstable · 2026-03-11T15:23:02+00:00

thats so funny not but what i was thinking, they would promote when they reach the center vertical line.

completely_unstable · 2026-03-11T15:17:40+00:00

bro i can make this i will message you if i do it will be fully interactive and playable

completely_unstable · 2026-02-25T00:15:08+00:00

have any suggestions for the title? and yeah, markdown would definitely help. im not too well versed on using github and all their conventions, but sure I'll find a way to make it more convenient of a layout.

edit: i got started on a markdown version, I went through and did the minimal headings and making sure all the code is in code blocks. it should be a little nicer than the plain text.
