Custom Seed Pocket Shuffle Chess
Custom Seed is for players who look at the daily setup and think, "fine, but what if I generate my own disaster?" Type a phrase or direct code, get a repeatable board, and make everyone else deal with it.
Name your own problem
A custom seed turns text into a board. Some people journal. Some people create tactical hazards with memorable URLs.
What Custom Seed does
Custom Seed accepts a phrase or a direct 5-piece back-rank code and turns it into a deterministic Pocket Shuffle Chess setup.
Why repeatability matters
The same seed creates the same setup, so you can practice it, share it, challenge friends, or compare attempts without rebuilding the board manually.
How it connects to modes
A custom seed can be used for AI practice, online play, friend challenges, Review/Learn, Sandbox, and Local PvP.
When to use it
Use Custom Seed when you want a named setup, a direct tactical experiment, or a repeatable challenge that is not tied to today’s daily board.
