I asked astra to make playable 4D chess

  I think flipping the tiling between light and dark on the top left and the bottom right (or vice versa) would make more sense. Then bishops stay on one color and the knight always alternates between colors (like 2d chess)

  If it is only 4x4x2x2 then this has fewer hypersquares than a proper version of 4D tic tac toe, e.g.:

    In game design, restraint can be a virtue.

  Not astra made but my mom and nephew say it's a fun thing to play https://chesspoly.com (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/chesspolly/id6798789898)

  Excellent job, this was very fun to play.

  I liked the explanations, graphics, interactive tesseract, all nice attentions to detail.

  How much guidance did you give Astra? Did you give a single prompt, an example site to mimic or was there more to the design and make process?

  I was expecting it more like a filled hypercube but its more like two surfaces? Probably better the way it is.

  A quick reminder as to just how bad I am at classic chess, but this is really fun and brain bending

  Did it also make a 4D chess Stockfish 19 for you?
