I'm definitely trying to help get people motivated on projects for it.

On an update kind of note:

With the help of Kerm, I was able to diagnose a lot of my issues with this game. I have to modify how I was doing the detections for movement and it should be right as rain.

Thanks! It plays faster than what the screenshot shows, as well!

No, I forgot to shorten the line drawing there again. I had that fixed in a previous version, but I think I overwrote the code by accident with older code. I'll have to try to remember to fix that.

So, update.

I've managed to make this move each player's checker once. To the right if you are player 1, or to the left if you are player 2. I'm not sure why you can only move once, but at least I'm finally moving this off in the right direction, after days of no progress.



I'm thinking it's some form of list issue, but I'm not sure. I'll do some more extensive testing tomorrow sometime.

This is just something I worked up to show how you will know when a checker is selected. I haven't implemented anything beyond that point, hence why you can select multiple. I'll probably use a variable to determine what player has their turn, a variable to tell whether a checker has been selected already, and I'll use a list to hold the coordinates of the stored checker, and after the checker is moved, it will be used to remember the last move made by that player. Then I also need to make it so you can cancel the selection.

After I get that implemented, I have to make it work moving rules and such.

Thoughts?

So, here I show on the left, you can change the color of the cursor. I haven't taken the time yet to fix it so the background of the cursor also updates when you update the other. I might mess with that later.

The right side shows the cursor moving around on the board.

What do you think?

I'm going to have to figure out how to check to see what square it is on, and make sure it only moves to the dark (square 2) squares. I haven't yet started working on those equations, so I'll get started on that shortly

I think you missed the first post of this thread You can change the colors of all the pieces and board squares to fit whatever you want. I didn't, mainly because I was just trying to get the blasted thing to put pieces on the board. lol

Trust me, I know :p I'm waiting on a few things to get ported over, hopefully when they do, I can see about releasing some other more intensive games.

As to Checkers, seems I've not been able to get checker generation quite right. Still working on it, though.
