Breakthrough Board

Rejoice, Breakthrough fans! I've just created http://www.trmph.com/breakthrough/board for you to analyze and share game records.

Here's a sample game imported from LG.

I haven't done extensive testing yet. Let me know if you see any bugs.

Great job, z! Just one more thing: could you add a button that can turn the board around?

@gamesorry, Sorry, I don't plan to implement this feature. A dynamic board orientation would add cognitive load without bringing much (if any) value. If you're inclined to rotate the board, using it on a mobile device would be helpful.

That's great, Z. Thanks. So far no problems. I assume Richard will take notice at some point.

Z good work. But I thinkg what gamesorry meant is that he wants to able to see black at the bottom, as LG roates board so that you are at the bottom irrespective of which side you play. Thus if playing black and analyzing the game you would have mirror positions in your head to analyze them. Example: http://littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1585773 I play black, and see it at he bottom, while analyzer shows me at the top.

@morphles, thanks for the clarification! I haven't played Breakthrough for a long time that I totally forgot about the board orientation nuance on LG.

I've uploaded a new version to http://www.trmph.com/breakthrough/board with an option to turn the board around.

Now it's working perfectly! Thanks a lot ;-)

Great job :D thanks a lot.

Btw, it doesnt work on most smartphones since if you turn the phone upside down, it will turn the picture ;)

@Christian K, both iOS and Android have an option to lock screen orientation.

There are two ways to have the image upside-down:
- either you turn your phone straight on a table,
- or you just lean it toward your imaginary opponent if it turns the image...

What is the need for the "uside down" button? I guess not for playing with a real opponent?

I second that appeal.

P.S. It's great seeing Richard so actively involved these days!
