Checkers Lua
« on: January 02, 2012, 05:13:41 pm »
So I've been working on this version of Checkers. It's based off a previous project from Python a while back. As of now, only two-player is supported, but AI will come later.

I tried taking an animated screenshot using Nick's method, but it ended up giving me a 350 MB gif.  :P

Great! will it have AI?
Did you checked the colors in grayscale mode to verify if it is playable in all nspires?

I think the graphics might look a little better with round pieces. But nice work anyways, no matter what shape they are!

@Renatose: As I said in the first post, AI will be implemented. As a matter of fact, I'm working on it right now. How would you check the colors for non-color? I haven't really worked with non-CXs at all...

@GB:Yes, the rectangles shall become circles soon enough.

@Saintrunner: You posted while I was posting this post...

the screenie is really nice :) works wonderful.. but can you also move to the not-marked places?

and maybe make it possible for multi-step moves (dunno how to say that) like when you can take 3 pieces in a row, you have to do that (officially xp) so maybe, add this if possible?

@saintrunner: Although the time stamp says that, I glanced at the topic summary and saw a new post!

@Nick: Moving to those squares aren't possible. Jumping multiple times will be added later.

I've read on wikipedia that it's called draughts and if given the opportunity to take a piece, you must. I've never heard of those two facts until now...

In the computer software if you chose a keypad that's not CX i.e. a touchpad or a clickpad then you'll see it in grayscale. That's good for testing ;)

Looks nice. By the way aren't the white pieces normally red? I didn't play chess in 15 years but every board I got came with red and black pieces.

Ah ok. Maybe it depends of the region or it was just a coincidence. Not that it matters much to me though, I always lost to the game, anyway :P

When using TI-Nspire student software, use Camstudio to record an avi file then virtualdub to export as GIF. CalcCapture also works and gives much smaller file sizes, but the quality suffers.
