Octi was first distributed in the US in June of 1999, and Octi for Kids in June of 2000. In October of 2001, Octi appeared in Israel. We still negotiating with...
Okay, I need your help...and fast. I just got word that GATCO wants to change Octi's pieces, board, and packaging. The pieces will be plastic; the board, paper...
All,<br><br>I have an idea and would like input:<br><br>I think that there should be an interface standard to allow the bots to interact without human ...
Hi,<br><br>I see no reason why files are necessary, the sockets should be enough.<br><br>Besides it's trivial task to write script that does all the network ...
Vec,<br><br>Yes, I am pleased to see a reponse. Thank you.<br><br>I was just tossing out several ideas. One was for sockets and one was for files. It should be...
We'll see where the ever-changing decisions on the redesign of Octi lead, but at present it looks like next year will feature a 24" cardboard board (as opposed...
Don,<br><br>I really like the rollable board format. Maybe something more like the tournament chess boards? Re: pieces, wood or plastic, I think a more ...
Helo,<br><br>Yes, I was thinking something like Tcl, if f.e. bot is not interested for doing networking stuff, then simple stdin/out writer/reader script could...
The rollable board has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it's unusual and easy to pack. On the down side, it's hard to produce with quality (some...
Don,<br><br>Well, since you are asking, how about a plastic board that is grooved (and the pods) to prevent turning like the old 3M Ploy board. Speaking of ...
cjr,<br><br>I am not trying to argue, but rather establish a dialogue on the pod rotation variant suggestion. In 3Ms Ploy, they had pod rotation, but they also...
The idea of pod-rotation is an interesting one, but it does tend to favor defense, and there seems to be plenty of that already. Catching the opponent ...
There is a lot to like about neoprene boards (flatness, feel, graphics), but they have some drawbacks. We're now going for a 24" board (that folds into fours, ...
Our 3 base tournament starts this weekend. We don't expect to finish all the games, but we can at least get started. Please put up a post if you're interested...
Hi. If you'd like to play on-line tonight, join us at 9:00 EST. We'll pair off for round 1 of the 3-base Octi tourney.<br><br>If you can't make it, just let me...
Tak and Octimon (me) split our 3-base match (playing with the no square rule, which was interesting and made for wide open games). You can catch the replays in...
I'm thinking that, as Octi goes into its next edition, perhaps I should drop the repositioning prongs rule. I created it in large part to give computers more ...
Don,<br><br>Do you plan on dropping reposition for all variants (including OFK)? It would be good if the 'move' notation is kept consistent. If not, it means...
To eliminate repositioning would have the advantage of making Octi and OFK consistent, since the latter doesn't allow for repositioning. (BTW, check out ...
Seems like a good idea. However, I don't particularly like the idea of being forced to move in Octi, to me that would go against the spirit of the game. In Ofk...
Oops, how embarrasing. I forgot to pay the domain registrar and they disabled my DNS... I just paid the renewal fee so hopefully the DNS will be poining to the...
