That's a good idea! Maybe it should be an RPG too, with a hilariously in-depth crafting system and an inventory system so convoluted you can use it as a weapon?
Chess, but with the other aspects of medieval warfare.
I have an idea for a custom piece that would work off the idea of restricting your opponent's field of play. Its called "the cage."
The cage can not capture pieces normally. It can move (2-10) spaces in any direction like a queen. The way the cage captures, is that it can capture any piece that is more than (50-100) spaces away from it, which at which point it takes that piece's position. It cannot be captured. There are two main points to this piece. The first is that it helps prevent infinite games, since ladder check mates dont exist how they normally do. Moving this piece away from the enemy king will ensure that they will be taken and killed. The second is to make your opponent's pieces move where and when you want them to. It enforces an idea of long distance attacks, keeping your opponent within range of this piece to make sure it doesnt take their pieces.
Obviously some tweaking is needed to balance this piece, maybe make it so it cant move if its being targeted, or allowing pieces to capture it. But i genuinely think it would be an interesting piece to add, to constrict your opponent's pieces as you see fit.
imagine the fear you may experience when your opponent says "you fool! you've walked right into a forced mate in omega!"

One video, and you already have hundreds of thousands of veiws, and over 2 THOUSAND subscribers? People are definitely interested in your channel. This is an awesome idea, can't wait for more!
This is absolutely one of the best concepts and videos i've seen in several years.
Well, if you got an infinite board, and pieces that move an infinite number of squares (Queen, Rook, Bishop), it's certainly possible to make more pieces with an infinite movement/attack pattern! You can also grab some inspiration of queen pieces from Ouroboros King
Maybe one like the archbishop, amazon or even the nightrider
/add Legendary Shotgun King + Mathematician + Knight Rider + Giraffe Rider + Queen Voyager + Upgrader King + Time-travelling Checkers piece + Rule Changer
To explain the joke,
A legendary piece can reincarnate, shoot lasers, explode, and teleport.
The Shotgun King can shoot bullets, or grab the blade.
A Mathematician cannot move, but it can combine (+), split (-), multiply (*), divide movements (/) and negate (-[]) other pieces.
1. Combining, for example, a knight on a1 and a queen on a3, yields an Amazon at a5.
([C]Na1-Qa3=QNa5)
2. Splitting, for example, a queen on a1, yields a rook on a3 and a bishop on a5.
([S]Qa1=Ra3,Ba5)
You cannot split pawns, bishops, knights, rooks or kings.
3. Multiplying, for example, a rook on a1 by 2 yields a rook on a5 and one on a6.
([M]Ra1-2=Ra5,Ra6)
4. Dividing the movement off, for example, and enemy queen on g7 by 4 that is about to capture our fellow mathematician at b2, makes her move to e.m5.5 instead.
([D]Qg7-4 Qb2=e.m5.5)
5. Negating, for example, an enemy rook on b8 that is about to capture our fellow mathematician at b2, puts the rook on our side.
([N]Rb8)
You cannot negate kings.
6. Pieces sometimes count as numbers whose values are equal to their point values.
For example, multiplying a rook on a1 by a knight on a3 yields rooks on a5, a6 and a7.
([M]Ra1-Na3=Ra5-Ra6,Ra7
A Knight Rider is a knight that can jump infinitely in one direction.
A Giraffe Rider is a Giraffe that can jump infinitely in one direction.
A Giraffe is a knight that moves 3 squares instead of 2.
A Queen Voyager is a queen that jumps while moving.
An Upgrader King is a king that can upgrade it's pieces.
A Rule Changer can change the rules, from allowing out-of-board travel to changing how pieces move, to transcending the 2D chessboard and going into higher dimensions.
yeah knight, hawk and guard are BASICALLY USELESS here
I think that with a so big board we could simulate a battle with infantry divisions, cavalry etc...; I hope that the board editor will soon be released because i really want to create a "realistic war layout"

You should add backward and forward arrow buttons that cycle the camera to focus on a given piece wherever they are. So Next piece/Previous piece buttons. One of each for both players, so 4 such buttons overall. You could cycle between your pieces and those of the enemy as well.

What a creative idea. One suggestion tho: you should have an option where the arrows are in defense mode by default, but if you hold a certain button, it will show all arrows.
Another suggestion, it seems like your arrows only show the first piece it runs into along a line. You can improve this slightly by showing all pieces it lines up with, while also showing the order of which the pieces are aligned.

Imagine if there were more types of pieces in infinite chess, i can think of some:
Prince: the king's son, can only move 5 steps to either left right up or down, if the king is killed, the prince will become the king, therefore, to win you must kill the enemy's prince and king.
Princess: moves like the queen, except she can only move 10 tiles away, if theres no prince left, she can turn a rook into a prince by touching it. She is promoted into a queen if the current queen dies (note: she loses the ability to create princes once she is promoted into a queen, or if theres no rooks left.)
Cavaliers: it is like the horses but they can move further, upon defeat they drop a rook.
Clown: like the rook but he can move 3 tiles up?
Ballesta: cant move, and it has limited ammo, but can shoot very far to non-important pieces (which means that you cant just kill the enemy king or queen or prince or princess.), 30% chance of missing your attack
Mage: slow movement, like maybe 3 or 5 tiles, but it can create a magic shield for a nearby unit to protect them (it only lasts until the next enemy turn ends)
The queen can move to all direction, infinitely
The queen has moved to one direction for infinite number of tile
She never knew if she already reach the destination or not, stuck in the constant movement
I'm gonna move so far away that it takes so long for my piece to move that my opponent dies of old age, thus awarding me the win.
If u could click infinite that is highly unlikely
@@Official-Poker Yeah, but floating point numbers are weird, and if you went a bit past 10^308, if it uses floating point numbers, you should get to infinity.
@@ettoresalvatore9437 or crash
There are "golden triangles", which are made of 3 points while all 3 are infinitely far
Their angles are all 0 (yes a bit non-euclidean), meaning that queen will be able to move anywhere next turn(making a 180° turn, this creating such an angle)(at least if that anywhere is same infinitely far away)

This might go against the spirit of this variant, but I think it would be cool to have an uncapturable piece called the "borderguard". Black has one behind the white pieces and White has one behind the black pieces. The borderguards can move up to two spaces, but only away from the center, all other pieces can only move within the bounding box spanned by the borderguards.
The board would slowly expand, if the players choose so.
Alternatively the borderguards could also move inwards, provided the kings stay in the playing area.
dude, you blew up! keep up the good work!
Now it just needs to be made into a DLC for 5D chess.
+infinite space, not surface
Call such a DLC "Real 5d"
Actually I think it would lead to the starting position to always be a mate in 3 for the person starting.
I think you can add some functions ,like search pieces, go back to king view, show which grigs can A piece attack B piece. That's will be helpful when you need to move a very far piece.
The casual mention of 5d chess and use of time travel is breaking my mind so much more than the topic.
I'm looking forward to over the board tournament in the nearest future!

Awesome! Can’t wait for chess on a hyperbolic plane!
That would actually be insane. How would that work? Each square has 5 sides all right angles to each other?
@@Naviaryhyper rougue is open source game/hyperbolic space engine and the engine supports many different tilings as well as continious space and time and more dimensions etc. The creator zeno would probably really enjoy a collab, he makes lots of experiments with hyperbolic (and other types) of space that he shows on his youtube channel.
But if you have more than 4 polygons around a corner then the angles will be less than 90 degrees, same as in flat space. But you can have 5 or more squares around each corner with 72 degree angles. And pentagons (or other many sided polygons) can have all right angle corners with 4 (or more if lesser angle) around each corner. That would be cool!
@@Naviaryhow do pawns promote

What about more than two players? 4 player shouldn't be too difficult to implement but 3 player would be interesting as most boards are shaped differently. Not to mention the additional rules such as moats like in traditonal >2 player chess boards. I would love to see your take on it.
I guess, there will be only like 1(against a bot), 2, 3, 4 and 6 players because shapes need to correctly connect, so it will not be confusing.
There has to be a limit, surely, just inconceivably and impractically big. That aside, this vid has to be the calmest passion I've ever listened to.
The limit is the amount of memory given out for storing the position of each piece. Piece positions are most likely stored as x, y coordinate pairs. Most likely these are JavaScript numbers (it's on a website after all) which would work in the range -2^53 + 1 to 2^53 - 1 (~10^15 by ~10^15, for a total of 2^106 - 1 or ~10^31 squares).
JavaScript also has BigInts, which will grow in size to fit the number. These allow for massive numbers, with Firefox allowing for a number value up to (roughly) 2^20 (~1 million) bits in size to be stored. This allows for coordinates in the range -2^(2^20) to 2^(2^20) (~10^315652 by ~10^315652, for a total of ~2^(2^21) squares or ~10^631305 squares).* Using regular JavaScript numbers is the easier and more likely option, though.
*fun fact: each piece will be using up to 256 Kilobytes (kibibytes) in just coordinates if you do this.
Edit: I won't bother reversing the obfuscated code, but the save/load game function uses the standard JavaScript numbers.
This could bring a whole new meaning to the intercontinental ballistic missile
You got quality and unique content dude, heads up continue creating and do what you love. Props to you
Logical next step: give each player an infinite number of those pieces which are only able to move a finite number of squares per move, to compensate for the finitely many pieces that are able to move an infinite number of squares per move.
I'm so proud of myself for independently coming up with this idea some time last year, but due to being limited in my own abilities in implementation, I had to resort to using google sheets to play it with a friend

i love the concept. what i would love even more tho, is making this a team game where u can 2v2 people with your army and ur teammates army together. so essentially more pieces but 2 moves per turn. for such a massive game id love to see it ever so slightly faster paced. Another idea i had is have the kings start like 5000 spaces away from one another, so pawns, hawks, knights, guards, and the king will never see the other side, (probably) so are solely there for defense. then the queen, bishops, rooks, and the rook knight hybrid, can be the attacking force. this might require a little bit more material to get the game interesting. but i like the concept
This is absolutely geniosly, idk how it will be in real gaming, but this and 5d chess are the best chess "mods"
What if the tiles at the very edge are always considered tile infinity? So you could have a piece on tile (infinity 6) and if you try to scroll towards it, the tile always moves with the screen. Like a pinned row or colum in excel. Then the only pieces that can be in the infinity row are things that have infinity direction capabilities. It's not much different than just going far out but it'll have the benefit of being very difficult to get to. I think only rooks or queens can easily get to them. Where bishops can only get to corner infinity (infinity infinity).
Cool idea but that would completely fuck with diagonals as a whole
@@Longcat_1 you can basically get infinity rounding.
This idea does not work, because interactions between pieces which are "infinitely many" tiles away are ill-defined in this case.
You would need to be more precise. Rather than having rows and columns labeled with some generic infinity, you should use ordinals to label those too, and then redefine pieces so that their movements are defined in terms of ordinal numbers. This would make a good chunk of the interactions better defined.
This project looks really cool! I'm looking forward for what you are able to do with this project. I would love to see the amazon as a piece in the future for this game.

Why not add 2 _more_ planets that have entire civilizations of the different colored chess pieces, with the Queens moved over to their respective moon? And maybe there could be a way to modify the King and Queen to make them more powerful by infusing them with random objects? Like... imagine if you could fuse the King and Queen with a harlequin doll, your dog, and a dead bird with a katana stabbed through it. That'd be rad as hell.
I also think the game could use a full RPG makeover with an in-depth housebuilder, as well as an exhaustive crafting system wherein any item can be combined with any other item in multiple ways that correspond to logic gates? While we're at it, the game should have a hilariously convoluted inventory system that's so esoteric that proper use can actually turn it into a viable weapon? I dunno, I just think this would make Chess (or maybe billiards too, if you're playing alone?) way more interesting.
Hyped for the omega video
I'd like to see all tactics in this variant of chess
Infinite Chess = Infinite Tactics
This is really cool with the extra mobility and stuff.
But I can imagine me getting extremely nauseous playing it lol
That's a downside to the checkers 😂 For now don't zoom out too far! I am planning a way to change the board color to your preference.
this comment prompted the idea in my brain of this in VR
which realistically is probably a bad idea but sounds very fucking funny
I've been waiting for this update for 600 hundred years.
That's really gorgeous !
When the website would get new features, I'll try to make some promo of that game on my channel for my small community.
If you want to get better pieces sprites, there is a Chesscraft database with a lot of sprites ;)
