the turn order is shown at the bottom. although i do think it could be improved. adding additional highlighting around "power plays" (moving opponents piece, then immediately own piece) could be helpful

yeah good point, something like that could definitely help

I love that! A very similar situation was also the inspiration for this variant- a beginner friend and I wanted to play but make the game less serious and more funny

The tricky thing about playing locally is that white and black will always alternate- so if you're not paying close attention to the turn order at the bottom, it appears as if it is playing out as normal chess. However the turn order is five normal moves, followed by two blunder-for-opponent moves, repeating

Very true!

My observations so far is that this game mode causes a lot of draws- because when a player gets a "power play" (moving opponent's piece, then immediately own piece) they can nullify pretty much any attack. It does seem like restricting mobility to your important pieces like the queen and rooks can be advantageous- to prevent your opponent from taking them on a "power play"

As for the turn order- it generally needs to be "odd number of consecutive normal moves" followed by two "blunder for opponent moves". I have it set at five consecutive normal moves right now. Initially, I tried three, but that was too frustrating. Your opponent had too much control over your board. I could be convinced that seven normal consecutive moves is better than five though. Beyond that, I would think that the gimmick (playing for opponent) would occur too rarely. I'm not sure though! I'm curious what others think

there were indeed some networking issues which should now be resolved :)

This may be because your sample rate was not a multiple of 16000. If that's the case, a low-quality, linear resampling is applied to the input audio to make it compatible with the pitch detection model. This resampling function should be improved.

I just pushed a change that will attempt to set your sample rate to 48000 now which may improve your quality. Additionally, your sample rate will now log out in the console.

Yes, that should be possible, the pitch shifting is very fast. I would expect the audio to sound pretty funky if you shift beyond one octave though

Just switched out the backend to a more robust library (mathjs). A lot of the previous problems should be fixed now :)

Thank you for the request! Request granted! 2x should now work. Equation input will also now highlight red if an error is present
