Show HN: I made a screensaver that solves chess puzzles
- Pwhy1 2y agoThat's fun! Is it possible to have an optional pause before solution is shown, so if looking at the screen there is some time to try to solve the puzzle?
- 911e 2y agoOr maybe a countdown
- gus_massa 2y agoTwo feature requests: When a new puzzle appears, the old move is still highligted in red. I tried playing a normal game against the computer: Where is the resign button :( ? Also I clicked "new game" and then the "X". I expected to go back to my doomed game, but I got a new game instead.
- binaryinitials 2y agoGreat feedback thank you! I ended up purchasing a different domain to only showcase the screensaver portion. I added your changes on that domain: https://screensaverchess.com https://screensaverchess.com

- pimlottc 2y agoDoes it actively solve chess puzzles or replay saved puzzle solutions?
- bobro 2y agoisn’t the grid a bad screen saver?
- fuzzythinker 2y agoA good screensaver should save the screen (CRTs mostly but LEDs too) by not having the same thing rendered at one spot. So randomize the location of the chess board at least.
- pcbmaker20 2y agowill you be releasing the source code on GitHub ?
- quybonmat 2y agoThe moves are too fast for my brain to think. Can we change time between each move?
