Thanks for sharing gitpod. I didn’t know it.

You can start on your fork with a good idea, demanding a small coding ambition. You can always improve your skill, learning by doing.

If you succeed in doing what you wanted, you can propose it to lichess. Otherwise, I'm not surprised that it's hard to convince the developers, who are no doubt in great demand.

For the moment, I'm interested in jocly, maybe in a few months I'll look at lichess but more with the idea of providing them with a contribution than making a permanent fork.

They will say me: go to hell)

Hexagonal chess on Lichess? Guy are you normal?!! WTFlame bro >,<? (I’m already banned in Lichess project in GitHub on both my accs because sparked by my ideas or off topic when devs were tired)

However, starting a new site from fork on recently announced GitPod is fine. Though I have almost no skill of coding. I’m ideaman.

The easier would probably to propose a variant in a contribution from a fork in the lichess project.

@Jean-Louis and @François,

this domain doesn’t exist. It’s just a sparkling idea…

@Bob, IDK, really… currently none of Lichess forks supports 3D/4D.

How well would 3D/4D variants be supported? (Like Chess on a Tesseract.)

same for me.That links doesn't work.

I haven't understood what this message is about, really.

You want to add variants on a fork of lichess, right? I can‘t find https://lishapes.org


Diceroller is Fire wrote on Mon, Jan 8 11:14 AM EST:

I have an idea...

Of Lichess-based site on Scala with chess variants on non-square boards. https://lishapes.org

Variants should be available on it:

  • Hexagonal Chess:
    • Glinski's
    • McCooey's
    • Shafran's
    • Koval's
  • Tri-chess (on triangles)
  • Pentagonal Chess
  • Irrational Chess
  • Accelerated Chess
  • Rocket Chess

And probably:

  • Crazy 38 Chess
  • Grande Acedrex
  • Metamachy
  • Horizons

There'll no bullets, rapids, etc. — no rating differences for time controls. Correspondence games are rated. No AI (like Stockfish or Fairy-Stockfish) currently planned.
