Demonstrates CELL’s 1D coordinate system using Latin lowercase letters. Features a simplified chess variant with two kings and their pawns on a linear board.

Coordinates used: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h

2D Shōgi Board - Size 9x9

Demonstrates CELL’s 2D coordinate system combining Latin letters and Arabic numerals. Shows traditional shōgi board layout with coordinate mapping.

Coordinates used: a1, b2, c3, …, i9

3D Tic-Tac-Toe - Size 3x3x3

Demonstrates CELL’s 3D coordinate system using Latin letters, Arabic numerals, and Latin uppercase letters. Features three-dimensional gameplay with spatial relationships.

Coordinates used: a1A, b2B, c3C, etc.

Purpose

These examples illustrate how CELL scales from simple linear games to complex multi-dimensional spaces while maintaining consistent notation and universal accessibility through a cyclical ASCII character system.
