I should be getting the new artwork for the boards on Monday, and I'll post them for advice and comments.<br><br>I appreciate the comments I've gotten about...
First glance at the new Octi (Extreme) board. It's a big honkin' jpg file, designed to create a board that is 9x9 with 2.5" squares. <br><br>I hope you like ...
Hmm... ...I get cool effect while scrolling the board sideways... Please don't get me wrong, nothing serious... Just the palette seems to change after I stop ...
See <a href=http://www.octi.net/octi1.jpg target=new>http://www.octi.net/octi1.jpg</a> for the new (standard) Octi board. <br><br>More about the pieces when I...
Aaron posted the updated graphics for the robot.<br><br>Time to get on the high score board! This time, stats are kept on how the robot is faring at each...
It's neat to see how the robot is faring against<br>the folks who drop into the site. It will be intereting to see the stats develop over the next few ...

I had some prototypes of the new pieces made, and they are expected in tomorrow's mail. I'll report back about them soon. My main concerns are about whether ...
From what I have seen so far, I liked the old set much better. The only good thing about the new set in comparison seems to be that it is bigger.<br><br>/cjr...
I went over the plastic prototypes with the plastics designer today, and we're getting close. We need wider prongs for strength and easy of play. The pyramids...
Two new pics for your perusal...<br><br>www.octi.net/piece1.jpg<br><br>www.octi.net/piece2.jpg<br><br>They should now 'cup' more easily and make the<br>prongs...
I've been getting wiped out lately in on-line play, but in interesting ways. I posted two new puzzles to make myself wiser in the future...<br><br><a...

Hi, Dean. I'm glad you made me think about this one some more. (I'm also glad to catch a typo in the way I was listing my moves -- sorry about that.) I revised...
Looking at the highscore table for the robot, it seems as though the robot does better when moving first. The win-loss contrast is most apparent at 8 ply; ...
I don't quite understand what Yahoo! has in mind when it changes our club format. I'd prefer not to transform this low-impact forum into a spam session, with ...
I heard today that the new boxes, boards, and plastic pieces are on their way, for inspection. They'll probably need all sorts of adjustments, but we're...
The latest puzzle (#4)is designed to extend the search horizon beyond just a few ply.<br><br>I'd be curious to know if the robot AI's out there can solve...
Puzzle 4 took the computer a few minutes to find the answer at 11 ply (I'm pleased to report that my solution was right). I'm less sure (but still *pretty* ...
