Game Courier will now display the captured pieces. By default, this works by making a list of pieces in the starting position, subtracting from the list any piece on the board in the latest position, and displaying the pieces still left in the list after sorting them in case-sensitive alphabetical order. Since this is not always appropriate for every game, how or whether Game Courier displays captured pieces can also be controlled with GAME Code for individual games. To display captured pieces, Game Courier populates an associative array called $capturedpieces. This array takes pieces labels as keys and piece counts as values. This variable can be set with setsystem to an array calculated with GAME Code, or it can be set to false, which will cause no captured pieces to be displayed. This is appropriate for games with drops, such as Shogi, which already display captured pieces in the playing area.
