Three dimensional Chinese Checkers.
Posted by: Bruce

(( mind boggles )) I wanna play.

No childhood game seemed more boring to me than Chinese Checkers. Well, maybe Stop'n'Shop with my girl cousins, but anyway...

Oldest brother several years back taught me the rule of what he called "Chinese Chinese Checkers." Simply put (if I can), a jump may contain an equal number of empty spaces on either side of the jumped marble.

Literal game changer.

I've written Chinese Checkers for play on a PC. (Lots of fun math in moving along triangles.) And I've written a game that's played in four dimensions (on a 4x4x4x4 game board). Now, before I leave this world, I must create three- (at least) dimensional Chinese Checkers.

I don't really so much dig the long lonely nights of programming that much anymore. if someone else wants to write it, I just want to play it.
