https://gamedev.tech/devlog.html Devlog of GameDev.Tech - games & tools, built in Rust en https://gamedev.tech/devlog/loop-watchdog.html https://gamedev.tech/devlog/loop-watchdog.html Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A player danced my chess A.I. into an infinite standoff. Here's the fix — a repetition-loop watchdog that shuffles in extra field algorithms to break out — plus a new AI-vs-AI watch mode with per-side randomised fields. https://gamedev.tech/devlog/flow-field-chess.html https://gamedev.tech/devlog/flow-field-chess.html Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The full story of FFCE: a chess engine I built that does no search, keeps no opening book, and consults no database. It optimises for authenticity over strength — by conventional metrics a weak engine, and deliberately so — rebuilding the board each turn as a stack of physical fields and playing the move that most improves the weather. https://gamedev.tech/devlog/rust-generated-homepage.html https://gamedev.tech/devlog/rust-generated-homepage.html Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Why this site looks like it fell out of 1999 — on purpose — and how a small Rust generator builds the whole thing twice, modern and GeoCities, from a single content file. https://gamedev.tech/devlog/ffce-live.html https://gamedev.tech/devlog/ffce-live.html Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 FFCE is live in your browser — a chess engine that scores fields instead of searching. Rust, compiled to WebAssembly; no server, no install, no opening book to lean on.
