I noticed that the url https:/​/​www.chessvariants.com/​graphics.dir/​alfaerie/​strong/​BHalfDuck.gif  is missing the Black and White Half duck, so the chess piece image for the lion is missing.

 


Question on PHP Engine or change on legal moves[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
wdtr2 wrote on Thu, Mar 26, 2020 04:17 PM UTC:

Something changed maybe about 2 to 4 weeks ago.  Let's say we have a game that shows legal moves.  I am on the white side, and it is my turn.  When I click a piece I get a gray square and blue squares that show legal moves.   Great.  I now move my piece.  I am now ready to confirm.  In the past, I could click on a black piece and see it's legal moves before I hit the confirm button.  This ability has disappered.  (maybe on purpose?).

Hi, your bug fix helped, but I am being really fussy now!  A pop-up comes up in CONFIRM MODE saying "Showing Legal moves for <piece> you cannot actually move in view or preview mode Click OK to hide legal moves.  In certain situations a checkbox comes up saying "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs."   If you click that  checkbox - Legal moves (on your enemy pieces) appears to me to get completely disabled."  

No, I do not want that. 

In the past, I was able in confirm mode to click several enemy pieces and see the enemy piece moves without the pop-up.

This is more of a question for Greg.  How did the 2019 Tournament go?  Who was the winner?

Never mind, I see the comment below. :)

Possible issue on Shogi Drop[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
wdtr2 wrote on Mon, Mar 30, 2020 10:33 AM UTC:

If you pull up the shogi game, and play against yourself (2 people on same computer).  Eventually you will capture a piece and it will go into your pending drop box.  If you try to drop a piece via a mouse click,

p* <mouse_click_location_on_board>

It does not work for me.  Fergus, can you try a drop piece move and see if it works for you?

Note: if you put the command in the moves: textbox, (manual) it will work.

I just attempted to put in rules for my new game.

In the past with other rules, I did a cut and paste from mspaint.  With this submission, the png appears, but when I hit the submit button, and then check it, the image is not there.   Is that OK?

The paste is in the setup section of the rules.

Fusion Chess. Play this variant in which pieces combine and split apart.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Hey nice idea.   This is pretty neat.  I did some testing.  When you select the Marble pieces (Black and white), there appears to me no Image for the fusion of King/Bishop.   It is showing the text "kb".  Overall very low priority to look at/fix.

I  just tried to "Favorite" funsion chess, and favorite.php just came back with a blank screen. (FYI)

url was like: ----://www.ch--svariants.com/index/favorite.php?itemid=FusionChess

 

Note I added the "--" so that the url in this message is invalid.


Question on Legal moves[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
wdtr2 wrote on Sun, Apr 26, 2020 05:14 PM UTC:

Hello, I am trying to make a game that has 2 royals.  setlegal seems to be the CV php command to add legal moves.  If you are looking through your standard programs that you have made i.e. "legal moves section", setlegal works great.   Let's say you completed your loop.   After you complete the loop you discover your 2nd royal is in check.  I want to clear out all legal moves and re-calculate.   Can you clear or unset the legal moves you set in setlegal a few milliseconds ago?  i.e. unset $legalmoves?

Chess piece names with period in them[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
wdtr2 wrote on Tue, Jul 21, 2020 10:14 PM UTC:

if fn friend $moved:
   set msg join join $moved #codename " is friend";
   echo #msg;
elseif fn enemy $moved:
   set msg join join $moved #codename " is enemy ";
   echo #msg;
else:
   set msg join join join $moved #codename " is not friend or foe " $moved;
   echo #msg;
endif;

I need advice on programming.  I have a piece that is .rf,  it appears to me the function friend / enemy is not working.  That function friend is using isupper or islower.  I am guessing that the Period in .rf prevents the function friend to determine if it islower.   

Any suggestions how I can add .rf to the function friend?


Shogi and legal moves[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I think there was a tweak somewhere. Shogi is not showing legal moves, nor does it allow you to move via mouse clicks.

The same is true for me also. I think there was a tweak to the base code related to legal moves. When you mouse click your piece in the past a gray square came up. This does not occur anymore.


Entering moves[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

The old method of entering moves via mouse clicks seems to be unavailable again. I'm on a desktop with the current version of firefox (in case it is a java script design).
