closer

even if you set out with a definite idea of what you think you want to do, it's going to change (hopefully) and by the end you'll find something you do want to do. or you'll be led on to the next thing, maybe.

anyway, no visual yet, but just before falling asleep last night, realized that the shadow (negative) chess bits should be shown on the black squares, and the entire piece should have foreghosts or afterghosts, transparencies maybe a third of a second different from the "now" moment.

only real question remaining is how many games at once to show. one might be plenty.

unless, of course, i can't figure out how to do it, or it doesn't make sense when you look at it, in which case there will be several real questions remaining.

by sunday, believe will be resolved.
