The colouring could be extended to leapers with a max. coordinate of 3, using intermediate colours, should you wish to add them for even more complexity! These would be magenta for 3:1:0, orange-red for 3:1:1, mauve for 3:2:0, brown for 3:2:1, gold for 3:2:2, turquoise for 3:3:1, lime for 3:3:2. An article of mine suggesting names for 3d oblique leapers has been submited and should appear in the next few weeks.
The following is a copy of a recent discussion with Tony about this game: ------------------------------------------- I've been working on a concept of replacing the shapes and symbols with simple colors. Black and White would denote ownership, and by themselves represent Pawns. Red = Rook Blue = Bishop Yellow = Unicorn Purple = Knight (Rook+Bishop step or Red+Blue) Orange = Hippogriff (Rook+Unicor step or Red+Yellow) Green = Wyvern (Bishop+Unicorn step or Blue+Yellow) The King and Heir Apparent would be noted by large dots on the faces of the Black or White piece. Gold for King and Silver for Heir Apparrent This way all the pieces would be simply round discs which would stack in a small area. The top disc would be the Black or White disc. And at a glance a player would be able to determine the power of a piece. Of course, this would not be viable for someone who might be color-blind. So shapes and symbols might be considered the universal.
