Two major and two minor changes

First of all: this game is fun!

The way I see it we are still waiting for two major updates that this game really needs.

1. The ability to review previous games. Today the game is lost once you exit the tab or start a new game. 

I guess we are all looking forward to being able to analyze old games, or keep the games we are particularly proud of. 

 

2. Complete rating lists.

I can sort of understand if there is some server/database requirements for storing all played games, but how hard can it be to release a complete list of peoples ratings, not just top 10?

At the very least I want the ability to view my own rating (possibly together with my ranking (world position)).

 

Then there are two minor points which I want to address (up to discussion):

1. Why is yellow called gold? I find this strange. Change the official name to yellow, please.

2. Why does red begin with the first move? To me it makes more sense that yellow should start the game. After all yellow looks more like white than red does.

 

What do you think?

These are very good ideas.

1 and 2 are in progress. We'll consider changing Gold to Yellow. We'll stick with Red going first.

I like the order of the colors.

Traditional Chess has Black vs White. I see no real reason to duplicate the colors for 4 player or even 3 player chess. The available color scheme seems fine with me. Perhaps Red should be "Scarlet" or "Crimson" because "Red" just seems so plain....

 

Not really just trying to point out that personal preferences drive a lot of what people want to see for the game. they made the game and a lot of people are playing. which I believe was the point to begin with.
