Whoa, learning Pixi while doing the jam! You're brave, ha!

Cool little game! I would have loved to see what you would come up with if you integrated a chess game into this game. I didn't have anyone to play it with but it would have been interesting to see what that gameplay would have been like. Congratulations on making a game in such a short amount of time with new tools you hadn't used before!

With the colors being random there isn't really any gameplay here, which sucks because the rest seems to be well implemented. If I understand the game correctly there's supposed to be a turn system where you alternate between white and black? I've never used Pixi before, but I assume there's some way to add a boolean? Something like

let whiteTurn = false;

And in your function OnDown(eventData) you say

if (whiteTurn) {

whiteTurn = false;

let texture = player_textures[ 1 ];

}

else {

whiteTurn = true;

let texture = player_textures[ 0 ];

}

And then you do the SetTexture and SetPlayer like before.

Good work using PixiJs, I just couldn't understand what's the game about.

Great stuff in learning PixiJS; that's one of the things I love about jams; that it's a great excuse to sit down and delve into something new. Hope you had fun!

Never played reversi before, so I had to google the rules. You're supposed to surround enemy row with your color for the colors to swap, right? If so, then the game doesn't always work properly, changing the rows in some strange ways. I wouldn't say that there is a lot of gameplay in this particular game, but I love the idea of real-time chess you had. I hope to see you here again in August, next time with full 48 hours!
