Well, I'm waaay too late on this topic to influence the video, but in addition to wanting to learn more about how to do the board thing, and hoping I grow enough, quick enough, for some teacher to come along that I can correctly use the board with, I am also very curious as to the theory of construction of a board.
I have only seen one board and that was during my childhood and was one of those boards made by the game makers (think "Monopoly" board game) that could be had from a department store. My curiosity is around how the construction of the board, what symbols are on it, the color and shape of it, etc. has an effect on how well it functions. Has anyone read anything interesting in this regard? (I know this is probably a Man 3 specific question).
The source of this curiosity is that I wondered why a computer program could not be constructed to do the same thing. Answers to this might help me understand more. For example, have a program that constantly shuffles the alphabet etc. and when I click a blank square on the screen, reveal the letter that was assigned to that square by randomization at that time. To me this example feels a little to much like pissing in the wind so to speak but I'm just talking concepts and theory of construction here, not actual implementation.
As for the board itself, I guess I'll buy or make the recommended one, keep reading, and hope I progress enough for a teacher to help me with it. After reading this entire thread, including the reference to June of this year, some part of IT is feeling very fearful / anxious that I'm too late and too far down the ladder to succeed "in time" before bad stuff falls.
