I thought i would instead collect my thoughts on Octi on a web page, just as I did with trax... (hope you don't mind, Don) starting with a small illustrated...
Nice graphics, Cjr. I need a bit more guidance as to the octi-for-kids puzzle. Whose turn is it, and how many turns until victory?<br><br>I think that the ...
Great. We will have an on-line tourney as soon as Eoin produces the new version of the the octi on-line code -- I hope that's in the next two weeks!<br><br>In ...
For the puzzle, any player to play and win (i think). I also worked a little on a new Octi page, to be in my series of abstract games pages only including Trax...
I like your octi page(s) a lot. The only thing I don't quite understand are the lines that emanate from some of the pieces -- are these ways of showing how the...
Perhaps the computer should always check to see whether it is possible to lose the game in, say, 5 or six moves. If so, it needs to adopt a set of 'yikes' ...
The best prices I've seen lately for OCTI (www.octi.net) are<br> <br>www.kbtoys.com $14.95<br>BoulderGames.com $18.80<br>www.funagain.com $23.95<br> <br>Grab ...
Let's start a ladder tournament. As with a tennis ladder, we start with a list of names in an arbitrary order. You can challenge the person immediately above ...
I would want to play too, but I'm afraid the times I can play are not really optimal.<br><br>If there really are some people to play, one could also have the...
I would like to play too, but I'm not all that clear on how tennis ladders work... if you beat someone, do you switch with them, or do you push them down one...
Things are looking good for the ladder. For starters, we have confirmed (in no particular order),<br><br>octitak<br>charles44944<br>happymutant42<br>cjr_imo...
Either, set up a ladder where anyone can challenge someone higher rated, and if he wins, he gains one place.<br><br>Or, just set up a rating system as on the...
I'm in, but I can guarantee my participation will be less than hardcore. <br><br>A couple of questions:<br>1) Will this be an ongoing thing? I seem to remember...

Coming down to details in the Octi rules here... So far, I understood that pods in a stack move independently during a turn. <br><br>One could think of this as...
Let me make sure I understand the question before I do my best to answer. Suppose I have two pods stacked on square 33. One pod moves to 23, while the other...
Well, what if you have two pods stacked on square 33, and one pod jumps 33-13-11-33 and the other jumps 33-53-55-33. Is that legal? I would assume that it...
Yes, that is a legal move. In much the same way that pods stacked together can both jump 33-53, they can each complete a series of jumps that return them to...
As of today, we have the following names on the ladder, in random order (except for me; I'm last).<br>More will join, but I thought it best if we get the kinks...
