I played a bunch of Gargantua games against myself using the first iteration of my Gargantua app, and realized that I needed to make the gargantuas more powerful. I removed their ability to make bigger leaps, but added the ability for them to move like a queen in addition to their ability to move like a knight. They were now the most powerful pieces on the board.
I played a bunch more games against myself using the second iteration, and realized it made no sense for each player to have two gargantuas; there should be only one most powerful piece on the board for each player, as there is in standard chess. Therefore, I decided to make the following changes:
- change the board size from 10x10 to 10x8
- remove one gargantua from each player
- add another queen for each player
- put the queens in the corners, where the gargantuas used to be
- put the gargantuas where the queens used to be
Here's what my initial board for iteration three looked like:
