Hey there! I just finished a youtube video explaining our donut chess in detail: https://youtu.be/iRcfHCPFgkM

So I thought it'd be cool to show it off here too- it can be played around with at mchess.io/donut - you can also set up an AI or online game on the site.

This is all indie dev work from a couple friends and myself.

looks like the white king/queen aren't on the right colors (queen goes on her color) - confused me a bit when trying to map the space to a 2d board

ahha true, I forgot this was the case. we like the setup this way as it has rotational symmetry, which more naturally extends to supporting 3+ players
