Four-player chess in your browser. One link, no signup.

What it does

Create a game, send one link. The first four people who open it play on a 14×14 cross-shaped board — everyone after that watches live. No accounts, nothing to install, free. Two languages, dark mode, works on phones

Zagraj w szachy we czterech na planszy 14×14. Tworzysz grę, wysyłasz jeden link — pierwsze cztery osoby grają, reszta ogląda na żywo. Za darmo, bez rejestracji.

Stwórz grę i wyślij link. Pierwsze cztery osoby, które go otworzą, grają na planszy 14×14 — każda kolejna ogląda partię na żywo. Każda gra ma własny adres. Możesz prowadzić dowolnie wiele partii równolegle. Miejsca zapełniają się w kolejności ruchów: czerwony, niebieski, zielony, żółty. Gra rusza przy czwartym graczu. Ten sam link, plansza na żywo i historia ruchów. Zwykłe zasady szachów na planszy w kształcie krzyża. Wszyscy czterej gracze na jednym ekranie. Imiona są opcjonalne. Wpisz swoje imię, kliknij „Stwórz grę" i wyślij otrzymany link trzem osobom. Pierwsze cztery osoby, które go otworzą, zajmują miejsca przy planszy — gra rusza automatycznie przy czwartym graczu. Nie.

    Thought I would post in celebration of 1 year of my website being online. I've been working on it on and off and currently the website allows users to play Hex, Tumbleweed, Amazons, and Connect 6 against friends or against practice bots. I've been a long time player of some of these games and I felt for a long time that the world could use a few more popular abstract strategy games compared to Chess or Go. If you try it, let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new games or new features to add :)

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
