New 3D Leapers. Leapers restricted to the diagonal and triagonal patterns of the 3D field.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Charles,

Your application of angles is in relation to the orthogonal pattern.  If
you wish to be bound by such restrictions, feel free.

In this simple treatise, the diagonal and triagonal patterns are being
considered as seperate entities.  And all their planar and cubic
potentials are thus expressed in such regard.

Allow me to state that these suggestions are not to be taken as absolute,
either in their regulation or nomenclatures.  They are primarily attempts
to aid developers in thinking outside the box.

The logic of the 90 degree restriction collapses when applied to the cubic 
move within the diagonal pattern and with the simple planar move within 
the triagonal pattern.
