minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 months agoThat sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!

minus-squareNeato@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·6 months agoDefinitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.

minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoIs there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you’re only color blind.
