Show HN: Learn Basic Chess Movements
I made this basic website for my daughter (6) to learn how to move chess pieces. I wanted a simple game which didn't have all the rules, just how to get from A to B with a piece. Admittedly, as soon as I made this a friend pointed out https://lichess.org/learn https://lichess.org/learn which is really nice!
There are a bunch of settings you can tweak to set the difficulty etc. Anyway, maybe will be a fun (short) diversion.
- komosai 11mo agoThat is so sweet of you!
- patrickdavey 11mo agoThanks. It was fun making it, and I really wanted to show her that the internet/apps weren't just for consuming, that you can make something of your own too. Also, kid-friendly Easter eggs (like turning off the colours..)
- OmMishra05 11mo agoWow this is so amazing, Got my 8yo niece using it
- patrickdavey 11mo agoExcellent - I'm so happy to hear it :) Hope she likes it (always keen for feedback!). The lichess site is very nice once she wants to learn more.
- elog08 11mo agoThanks for building this. A small suggestion: the sound effect was a bit startling. Maybe add background music or other sound effects so the user expects sound.
- patrickdavey 11mo agoYup, I wondered about that. I'll toggle sound off by default.
- patrickdavey 11mo agoDone - new players won't get the music until they turn it on in settings :)
