Hey, I'm the one who made this! My video on it probably does a better job of explaining it than the github so I'd recommend checking that out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7VtSK23_Jg

If anyone has any questions about the engineering process/game itself I'd be happy to answer.

The transcript of the video doesn't really work that well as the intro text in GitHub. The tone of it feels haughty, before even it has entered into the main details of the project. My suggestion is to rewrite it toning down the things that work on video but not as standalone text.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t find it “haughty” or tonally inappropriate at all (I thought it was fun and cute, and the right kind of unserious tone for a hacking-for-fun project).

If we’re doing a line-level read, though, it did take me a lot of reading to understand what the project was. Nothing that couldn’t be addressed with one more massage of your subhead “a physical chess board without the concept of turns”!

Super cool project, incredible execution, and you’re so personable—thank you for this work and your video!
