A small implementation of 5D chess without win/lose rules. This is (more or less) a 5D Chess sandbox.
It's written in Love2D, so you'll need to use Love to
run it. Simply execute the love binary with this repository as the current directory
Click to select a piece (even an enemy piece). All the valid locations that piece can move to will be highlighted for you (no matter what board those locations appear on). Click to select one, or click to select another piece. Making a move will immediately advance the turn counter and will take you onto whichever board is active.
You can click-and-drag to move around, and you can zoom with the mouse wheel. That's pretty much it - piece movements are implemented, but there's no AI and (currently) no victory, so it's really just a sandbox.
