#92Earlier quoted context omitted.
why would I practice visualizing not-chess information about chess pieces, when I could visualize actual chess information? The history of a pieces moves is irrelevant to chess, except in extreme corner cases of repetition.
The history is irrelevant here as well, you just need to know the next goal, which is always indicated.
I see that now. The UI has poor discover ability of the goal, especially on mobile.

#94This is the most boring game ever and I’m not sure why anyone would play it.
To learn how to move the knight effectively in chess.

#95If you'd like "easy mode," such that the queen's squares are highlighted:
((sq) => { let board = document.querySelector('div.m-auto'); sq.forEach(s => board.querySelector('[data-squareid="'+s+'"]').style.backgroundColor='red'); })(["d8", "d7", "d6", "d4", "d3", "d2", "d1", "e6", "f7", "g8", "c6", "b7", "a8", "c5", "b5", "a5", "e5", "f5", "g5", "h5", "c4", "b3", "a2", "e4", "f3", "g2", "h1"])

#96Ok, shameless plug. I did a pretty “popular” version of this. https://knight-queen-game.netlify.app/
Yours is nice. I think the behavior of clicking where the night goes is a bit better.

Thank you :)
I really had fun making it and speed running it.
It is also one of the few things I’ve made outside of work that got kind of popular for a little while and the ride was really fun.
It gives me disproportionate pride and joy :)
I also love chess

#98A really clever puzzle, UI issues aside. Reminds me of programming the knights tour back in college.

Judging by this thread every single person did the same thing and became equally frustrated (myself included).
something something programmer found dead in the shower
Maybe we were pushing the programmer a little too hard for changes if they felt compelled to continue working on their project while showering. (Remember folks: using a computer, or any other electric appliance, in the shower is a bad idea!)

#100I mapped out the structure of the board as a graph of which squares you can get to from which other squares. It's surprisingly stringy without all the squares forbidden by the queen placement. https://i.imgur.com/8OuQcu8.png
How did you do this? Or was this done manually?
I wrote a ruby script to map out the graph and fed it into graphviz to make the image.
