Psychic Origami

Psychic Origami is probably going to be a slightly more active blog than this. I'm going to more or less limit it to techy and art/crafts stuff. It'll be where I go on (and on) about projects I've been working on. A place to talk about things I'm "making", as if I was battling localised entropy. Or something like that.

In other news: I'm leaving my current job to pursue other opportunities. Entirely of my own choosing. This might mean I have more of a chance to bake.

    well there will probably be the inevitable ginger cake. also I made a (surprisingly) good gluten-free banana bread last week. I think I shall take the time to expand my repertoire.

    Good game. Hey, I was wondering, is there anyway to offer a draw? Also, is it possible to do en passant in on there?

    You played much better than I did, but still good game. Currently no way to offer a draw. I'll add it in the future, just need to find a nice way to do it.

    En passant should be in there already. You should simply have the ability to do it when the opportunity arises (immediately after they moved their pawn, before any other piece is moved). Of course I may have a bug and it might not be working...

    in one of our games i had the option to capture en passant and the square behind the pawn was highlighted properly (although i didn't do it)

    man, john, you let him checkmate you! how come you always resign in our games and never give me the satisfaction?

    i think a useful feature would be to be able to choose an open invitation, so you don't have to have a key to join.

    Yeah, I really like that last idea. Oh, and I didn't come across any bug or anything, I was just wanting to know if you had already taken care of that rule.

    I think open invitations will be one of the next things I do. Initially I wanted it to be just for games between people who know each other in some fashion, but I think it makes sense to let people just play anyone.

    Now that I've got a separate page for making a new game there's an obvious place to put settings like that.
