Ummm, that change (if you mean being able to flip the pieces as if looking in a mirror) would fundamentally change the essence of the game. It would prevent players from developing the visual ability to mentally rotate and imagine the piece. I believe it would break the core dynamic and the spirit of the game, but I appreciate your feedback nonetheless.

To me, this was the least fun part. Since there’s no penalty for entering squares incorrectly, I just tried the shape, and if it wasn’t accepted, I figured “oops, I must have flipped it.”

But I agree it would be a major change. If you ever share the source code, I would want to try doing this myself for my own use, to see what it feels like.
