You are getting quite adept at creating Interactive Diagrams!

Two suggestions that might be useful for making them even nicer:

* There is an anti-aliased PNG version of the /graphics.dir/small/ set, in /graphics.dir/utrechtPNG/. It is 50x50, but if you are using betzaNew.js as the Diagram script instead of betza.js, you can still specify squareSize=33 if you really want small pieces. This newer script includes size specifications in the HTML for the chess board that forces their size to the requested squareSize, rather than adapting it to the natural image size. And the 50x50 anti-alisased PNG displays quite nicely at 35x35 too, with a more pleasing result than using the old GIF files.

* If you include the parameter useMarkers=1, it will use symbols for highlighting the moves, rather than the background color. This looks better on brightly colored boards, especially when you have suppressed the borders between the squares with borders=0. (Perhaps I should make this the default...)

I am not sure there exists anything like a 'Smess set'. Perhaps Fergus knows? When I look at the Smess page the images of the individual pieces are in /other.dir/, but I don't think these have transparent background. And then they would not be usable for the ID.

I was looking through your list to see if you'd included any of mine, and while I found a couple of familiar names (Crusader and Inquisitor) I didn't see their counterparts (Healer and Tax Collector), so I assume that those are different pieces under the same name.


HaruN Y wrote on Sun, Dec 17, 2023 11:15 PM UTC in reply to Bob Greenwade from Sat Dec 16 05:24 PM:

Some pieces that can be found on your Piece of the Day are included, but under different names:

-Seeress (Q2)

-Night Potentate (N2)

-Heavenly Tetrarch (Q4)

-Barasi Bishop (fB)

I recognized the Heavenly Tetrarch as my Lady in Waiting (though actually Lady in Waiting was a deliberate renaming of the Heavenly Tetrarch, to fit the themes). I was unaware of the other three, though.
