Board editor/challenging friends

So, I am fully aware no real updates have been done yet. So this is iust for future reference, if anything.

Board works great. 2 of my friends are already interested in testing this out. Too bad there’s no way to challenge friends as of yet on the board :wink: (and even in the app, couldn’t make it work. I assumed it would have, but probably still in the works).

Board editor is massive for practicing endgames and reviewing certain positions, especially right after an online game. A possible issue (might not be implementend yet, mind you) with it is it’s very hard to tell that you can play after pressing the buttons (play as white or black). 3 out of 4 times, no lights showed up to tell me to go. And only once I got something to tell me to play (which was right after an online game, I cannot replicate it tho, wish I was recording at the time). Also, using the editor and then going back to play online, if you replace the pieces beforehand, the board will still think it’s on the last game and it’ll freak out, but as soon as it’s reset to starting position, it fixes itself. Dunno if that’s planned or not. Definitly worth noting.

Well, that’s all for now. I do have a video of me playing around with it then going to play online and going back to editing, just don’t mind my ugly voice.

I think what happened early on is that our cancel launch game did not cancel the search and you got served two games at once.

The board editor that is in there, was actually just the software from recording the kickstarter videos - it was not meant to be available “as is” to customers. We left it in there for now, but it will be improved with options on how to play out the game (i.e. against which bot, OTB, etc)
