Interactive Diagram Piece Sandbox

For several of my own variants, I used a custom-built Piece Lab for testing pieces for Interactive Diagrams. I figured I might as well make one for the general Diagram-using public. This Interactive Diagram lets you create your own pieces using Betza's funny notation and test them out before you include them in your own games.
