Play Chess Variants with Jocly. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
A. M. DeWitt wrote at 01:46 PM UTC:I've noticed for a while that for the 2D Classic Jocly sprites for Seireigi, all the promoted (red) kanjis being mirrored rather than being rotated 180 degrees like they should be, which looks a bit ugly and may confuse certain players, especially those who are used to single-kanji graphics.
Attached is a spritesheet that fixes this, which I would like uploaded to the biscandine site.

Pocket knight. Each player has a knight that he can drop during the game. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H. G. Muller wrote at 10:34 AM UTC in reply to HaruN Y from 12:11 AM:I suppose I implemented the idea I described earlier in this thread, to give U moves a penalty in the positional range. I don't remember when I did that. (Or in fact that I did it at all.)
BTW: K-side castling is done with the pocketed Knight, instead of the Rook! Better move the pocket squares to 2nd rank.

I could not figure out what closing tag you were mentioning. This ID still does not work properly!

Okay, I corrected that.
Pocket knight. Each player has a knight that he can drop during the game. (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Since when did the AI stop using Pocket Knight in such a stupid way? I noticed that now the AI doesn't drop it as quickly as possible.

Waffle Chess with Gryphon and Falcon. Expansion for waffle chess. (10x9, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]There was a typo in implementing a new property I had added. I added the displayPieces property, which when set above zero will display the piece table when the page loads. This much worked as it should, but when it was not set, it omitted the closing > in the tag, which caused what followed it to not be displayed.
Waffle Chess with Manticore and Falcon. 
Expansion for waffle chess. (10x9, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@Fergus, It seems the ID does not work here. When pressing "here" the pieces are not shown. Just the legend. I know you have changed the script a bit. Any idea on what is going on?

DeWitt wrote on Mon, Apr 29 09:27 AM UTC in reply to François Houdebert from Sat Apr 27 07:09 PM:I have done it but not sure it is a good idea because if you use "view as player B". It won’t be correctly oriented.
Well, that problem was kind of already baked in to begin with, unless you used a separate piece style like you do with the Shogi Motif pieces on the biscandine site.
The point is to make sure all the 2D Kanji are oriented correctly on the biscandine site. Anyone who has played Shogi long enough would immediately notice something was wrong with the second player's promoted minor pieces if they used the 2D Classic set for Seireigi.

Synochess. Asymmetric west vs east variant where the western chess army plays against a Chinese and Korean-inspired army.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]H. G. Muller wrote on Sun, Apr 28 08:28 PM UTC:You must not write anything on the row behind the =. Probably /..$= would already do. On encountering the = filling of the matrix skips to the friendly captures/hops, and at the same time copies what you already have defined in the row (so ..$ here) to the corresponding friendly interactions. What you continue after that will start to overwrite the copied friendly interactions.
Idk how to prohibit hops with captureMatrix. I thought captureMatrix=/..$=.........//////////// would work.
Edit: Fixed. Thx HGM!
Is there a way editor(s) can let me know my 10 submissions to be reviewed have not been forgotten? I put out a comment for each of the 10 about two months ago that each was ready for review.
