Show HN: Radioactive Pooping Knights
minichessgames.comI've been having fun building out a really simple chess learning app for my daughter (7). It started with just "maze like" puzzles [1] and I've added a few more.
This "radioactive pooping knights" idea came from an Irish primary school chess website [2]. Really simple idea, two knights moving around the board leaving poo behind... Don't be the one forced to step on it.
* best played with sound on.

*highly subjective, may not be better for you to play with sound at all ;)
p.s. Any "buy me a coffee" goes to my daughter. Annoyingly they only pay out once you get above $10 USD and I think it's currently sitting at 9.85 or something!
Amazing idea! I managed to win once by not trying to pressure the opponent but just looking for the most free to move sectors on the board.
Well done :) the "ai" for this game is really basic, it just tries to find any free move and take it. The other games do a basic minmax to look ahead a bit.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
omg the sound when you win is certainly not the reward I was hoping for
On brand though surely ;)
(What were you hoping for?, the other games have a more traditional winning melody ;)
lmao. no capturing?
Nope. Intentionally so :)
lol this is hilarious
