Hi folks,<br> I'm not entirely sure I understand this game or the notation, so bear with me if this is a stupid question. I was playing through a game I found...
I have updated the whole game for you, in short notation. I hope that helps you! (See next post.)<br><br>Unfortunately, some games have an old problem in Orac,...
So, I guess what you're saying is that the notation is attached to the wrong pod. After that when you add a prong, the prong the wrong notation is updated. ...
The program (orac) is written in Python (by AaronA) and the problem is fixed now, so hopefully subsequent games should be correct. But, also most current game...
Whew! After 19 months of waiting, I finally got word that the US Patent Office issued a patent for 'a game with dynamic pieces indicating direction.' I'm not...
The Octi 'bot tournament and Octi demonstration at Yale on 10/21 will take place in the afternoon at Woolsey Hall. More details as I get them...<br><br>Don...
Latest game photo has Blue to move in an unfinished game. Blue is ahead on resources, and has a pod deep in Red's lines. But Red has more immediate threats....
Let's try to get the gang together on-line this evening (EST). In other news, Vector has produced<br>a new version of the client code that allows for play on...
Now that Vector has fixed the clocks in the new client, it's possible to play timed games. Playing with a 5 minute limit = 2 cups of coffee.<br><br>The new ...
Question about notation, that I couldn't figure the answer to from the document:<br><br>Which square is defined to be square 11? From the diagram in the ...
My sense -- and others should chime in if their opinions differ -- is that we should have the perspective and notation follow the octi on-line format. Red ...
I agree, but partly this is a matter of word-play. Of course, having "reds" lower corner to be 11 doesnt work if red is 2nd or there is no red (as in the board...
I agree with octimon, except that I have a slightly more radical proposal about the colors.<br><br>Although this is pedantic, pedantic things can cause untold...
Another idea, that came to my mind, is to use white and black for the players, as in the board game version, instead. <br><br>Of course, all these are ...
It probably would cause less confusion to outsiders to call the first player White and the second player Black. <br><br>On the other hand, we should probably...
The site www.thegamesjournal.com wants a tough Octi puzzle for their site. It should involve a clever series of moves leading (for sure!) to victory. Anybody ...
I wrote:<br>If player 2 leaves the board or gets disconnected during his/hers :-) turn the server won't be able to send that information when player reconnects...
I just installed Vector's new client successfully, and here are a few tips on how to do it.<br><br>1. Create a directory called octi.<br><br>2. Go to <a...
I want to assemble a 'learn octi in 60 seconds' for the web. It would teach the basic rules for the 1 square game. Movement. Jumping. Building. Stacking. How ...
One of the best game tutorials I've seen on the Web (and it does something like what you have in mind) is Hiroki Mori's The Interactive Way to Go:<br><br> <a...
The go site is a good model. (Are there others I should look at, too?). cjr and I are conspiring to put a tutorial together, using some octi graphics he's...
