I've been wondering is there a new update coming soon?
Infinite Chess: Official release!
Sort:
I came up with an idea. What if achievements were added.
For example: Get all of your Chancelers, Rooks, Bishops, and Queen 100 spaced away from there starting point.
There could be an achievement for making a minecraft house (inspiration from OreoFallaceChess)
Infinite chess is great! I'm excited to see how your ideas develop.
Infinite chess is so much more intriguing than regular chess (or Small Chess as I now call it) and the new peices are great.
I hope your plan of bringing more attention to infinite chess works. Even though 645k people watched the video only a few people are playing infinite chess at the same time at most.
There is a glitch where if you move a piece too far, it will start to act strange. The piece will disappear and the spaces that turn blue if you can find the piece will overlap. This started happening to me when I moved the piece to about y -1 quintillion.

the previous application (which was less a game you could play and more a board editor) on which this is presumably based on had problems in the trillions or even closer (nav can confirm)
so this is a huge improvement
also how did you move it that far, some patience
and while its "infinite" that doesnt mean such long moves are any useful in normal starting positions
I've reached y -8.33 to the 28th exponent and the pieces are starting to behave even weirder. The blue squares will just not appear if you can find the piece.

I was able to move the piece so far by zooming out to fit all pieces in the screen before every move and the amount of squares I could easily move to increased exponentially each move. It did require some patience.
im exited
Well is it like you type the coordinates
Or is the drag and move

Interesting thing, I had more time to work on the editor version years ago. I actually increased its limit so high you could fill your entire screen with your coordinates (probably over 10^500). I did that by adopting Big Decimals.
There's still some features in that version that I haven't yet brought over to the InfiniteChess.org version, those being the increased limit, being able to edit the board (in-game), highlighting squares, and viewing past moves.
But the InfiniteChess.org version in its current state I still think is a huge improvement, giving anyone with internet access to it, playable local and online games, and much more optimized allowing games with a million pieces to be played with a decent frame-rate, and someday, infinite pieces.
Soon all of these features will be brought over! I want to do them right though, polish them.
EDIT: And also SOUND EFFECTS the previous one didn't have!
New video released yesterday! https://youtu.be/CQ4Ap5itTX4
I found a bug in infinite chess. It is irrelevant to almost everyone in any match, but I thought I should make it known. A few times now, I have tried to get as far as possible in any direction. At a certain point (I forgot to track exactly when, but I think it's around a few quadrillion) the board, pieces, and available spots to move all start to misalign. I can't perfectly describe it, but I've included some screenshots to help. There is one image for quick reference (yes, that Y value is real), and there is an imgur link to view a few more.
At distances that great there is some rounding happening. It's just a limitation of javascript's double-precision number system. Sometime I will upgrade to Big Decimals or similar, which will increase the limit without glitches to likely over 10^500!
Ok.
Also, here's a quick update:

When is board editor out?
Might be a bit. In the meantime there's a spreadsheet editor available now!
@24xru shut up if you dont care dont be here
