Hi,
I've designed an abstract two player board game, 'stlts', and have set up a website where people can play online, either against other players or against a rather basic computer program.
I'd be very grateful to anyone who wants to try a game; I'm there on the site a lot of the time (UK waking hours).
Any feedback very very welcome, either here, directly emailed, or on the messageboard at the site.
Also if you have any trouble logging on to the site please please say. From my statcounters I see that some people go from the homepage to the main page, that contains a rather large applet, but never show up at the other end and would really like to know whether this is because they get bored waiting or whether the download fails.
Many thanks,
Wally
Yes, a few people have found this - it's simplicity itself once you understand it! If I get the time I might do a newbie version with text prompts that fade once the hang has been got.
Yes, that's not a bad idea - I still get black/white dyslexia even now. But I might be a bit loath to break the 'pure design'! Maybe when and if I create the economy set I'll use it.
"Pins control how far your piece may move. You may move the piece one vertical space for every white pin it has in it and one horizontal space for every black pin it has in it. You may take these moves in any order. For example, ....
Pins stay in the piece until the end of the game.
A piece with no pins cannot move."
Thanks for that: I've found it rather difficult to express what is an essentially simple concept in simple terms, but I think you're getting there with that. Excuse me if I plagiarise you a bit!
Many thanks for all your suggestions.
