Well, it's the one thing the directions didn't actually say: The goal of the game. I'd be shocked if anyone went to that site and could figure out what to do.
You need to have /some/ experience playing chess to realize and understand chess notation.
And no, vague and indirect "move to every square in order" located separately from the chess notation is not good information. Also, no, tiny nomenclature for ants on the board is not good information.
Also on a phone/thin browser window the goal shrinks from "huge text under the header" to "small text at the bottom of the screen" and the instructional text disappears.
Have to raise my hand then to shock you.. what else should the coordinate that is also indicated on the axes mean?
> to every square in order, right to left, top to bottom
Added to that immediately.
shrug But yeah as the title says, one realizes quickly that knight moves pretty strange so got bored after 5 targets and did something more exciting: wrote a Python script that prints me the moves from and to any coordinate (:

Yeah, but it's not clear that the instructions text is talking about that symbol, *because it doesn't say so* explicitly.
Sometimes a small level of information redundancy is good for communicating with humans, instead of forcing them to make the correct inferences in place.
Maybe we were pushing the programmer a little too hard for changes if they felt compelled to continue working on their project while showering. (Remember folks: using a computer, or any other electric appliance, in the shower is a bad idea!)
no, you just have to use your brain implant's wireless connection to make changes. what kind of 21st century lame-os are you that have to worry about electric connections to the computer?
ohmuhgawd, that's gotta be the darkest thing i read all day and caused me to literally lol (so that device would let me type it) so hard i spilled a bit of my old fashioned.
No, they say to move in every place, while you're expected to to move to a specific place in every step. f8 is the first for me, but I did not understand that was supposed to be the target, since it seems arbitrary.
I understood that to mean that 'each single move' should aim to move to the left and below the previous position if possible (presumably to reach the bottom left square as the game goal?); taking 'every square' to imply 'every square you move to'; and being further complicated by having a complex subordinate clause with restrictions to movement.
I thought it meant "goto the bottom left corner" or "goto the top left corner then goto the bottom left corner." or "mark all legal tiles visited".
There's no hint in the help that you're suppose to goto the tile coordinate specified by the little box in the bottom left corner. I'm not even technically sure that's what the "f8" at the beginning is for since the help doesn't mention it.
Like move the Knight to every square on the board, in a certain order, but skipping some. I didn't notice the "f8" at the bottom until I read the comments.
