I wish it could keep track of where the knight has already been.

I wish it could keep track of where the knight has already been.
- darepublic 4y agoYes I agree. They do have a square coordinate at the bottom which is the next square to go to following that will get you all the chess squares
- jrumbut 4y agoThat and some explanatory text as to what the game actually is. My first thought was to try to capture the queen.
- Waterluvian 4y agoI tried and it wouldn’t let me. :(
- jrumbut 4y agoYeah the goal is actually to avoid the queen while visiting every space. Eventually I clicked "Help" and learned that.
- bee_rider 4y agoHow do you visit the squares that the queen is covering?
- Waterluvian 4y agoYou don’t. They’re not counted I think.
- rjh29 4y agoIt has text now? "Move the knight to every square, right to left, top to bottom. Don’t land anywhere the queen can take you, and don’t take the queen."
- jrumbut 4y agoI'm on a phone, I think that's the difference.
- joeframbach 4y agoExcept, it's not accurate. It says "move the knight to every square" but the game is actually "move the knight to the next square specified".
- eterm 4y agoIt might not be obvious, but the specified squares are "all the squares in the order right to left, top to bottom without those the queen can attack" as the text instructs.
- joeframbach 4y agoThe text changed since my comment was posted.
- jpmoral 4y agoHow does that help you get to the indicated square?
- vore 4y agoI didn't actually realize the goal of the game was to do it all in order! The help text just says "Move the knight to every square, right to left, top to bottom."
- jpmoral 4y agoIt may have been updated after you started.
- abliefern 4y agoI'm having difficulty understanding your difficulty in understanding. What did you think "right to left, top to bottom" meant?
- TuringTest 4y agoI got the same problem, I thought it meant 'relative to the current position', until you hit bottom left.
