If it is only 4x4x2x2 then this has fewer hypersquares than a proper version of 4D tic tac toe, e.g.: https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~r345liu/

In game design, restraint can be a virtue.

Yeah, if it was properly 4D it would be pretty unplayable I think, you’d need 4 each 4 layer cubes, and they could not be nested in any physical configuration.

"i made this!" No, Astra didn't "make" anything. It plagiarized from old ideas before LLMs like (2020): https://en.chessbase.com/post/what-on-earth-is-5d-chess

This is clearly not the same thing. Other than both of them adding additional dimensions to chess they have nothing in common.

I asked Astra to try and fix an issue in my codebase I've been battling for a month. Day and half later on high and it's still circling the drain. Seems like with each new model we praise it based on toys, but then reality hits the ground soon and we wait for the next model. In the meantime, good ol' brain.

I’m just trying to understand, there’s an issue you’ve been unable to deal with for a month, and Astra not being able to handle it in 36 hours is disqualifying?

You can show them as 4x4 boards of 4x4 squares.
