An adaptation of a thing I invented.

Imagine the figure-eight unwound into a large circle. Marbles can move along it by jumping over each other clockwise. Now, twist and flatten the circle back into a figure-eight. The marbles move the same but the circle has become two.

I made this fan-site in summer of 2025 because I gathered a lot of historical information about this game in my spare time that I wasn't doing anything with. As far as I am aware, this is the first time anyone has put it all in one place on the internet.

This was also the last project I did before I switched my main OS from Windows to Debian. I used a lot of the default programs that came with Windows specifically to try and achieve a kind of early-Y2K internet aesthetic. I think I did a good job.

This is a new version of Fore and Aft with cleaner code, using a CSS Grid to display everything. It is the result of my dissatisfaction with how the game on the fan-site uses an HTML table to show the board. All the graphics are heavily edited photos of real objects.

I would've included the normal English Sixteen ruleset as an extra game mode like I did in the fan-site but I couldn't find a way to add a decent options menu that wasn't clunky to access. The game is fine without it.

The best score I've ever gotten on this was forty-eight. I couldn't replicate it on my own if I tried.
