Finished Adding a Complete Tutorial!
There is now two interactive tutorials in the game! One of them introduces you to 4D and how to understand the 2D representation of a 4D board used in 4D Chess Without Multiverse Time Travel. The other tutorial explains how all of the pieces move and let's you move them each around individually to get an intuition for their movement (and there's also some extra... story? I guess? in this tutorial). I also added an experimental feature that allows the user to make 3D conflation maps (which are perfect for mapping out flat 3D surfaces). This feature is still pretty early on in development and you can't save your maps or label your waypoints but you can play with it if you want. Also, anth and kenth are the names of the cardinal directions for +W and -W respectively (the anth and kenth directions are labeled in the conflation mapper). Actually, here's a list of direction names -- in case you were interested:
Anth and kenth are generally agreed upon for the cardinal directions although there are a few people who use other words and some people spell kenth as kendth. Ana and kata are probably the most well known relative directions although wint and zant are somewhat popular and on and again tend to be used by people who play 4D flight simulators and a few people use other words. Anyway, that had nothing to do with the update really but I thought it might be a useful reference.
