Title: Checkers (Grammer)
Post by: Xeda112358 on January 06, 2012, 11:56:13 pm

This is my so far biggest attempt at programming in Grammer. It has the basics at the moment, but when I have time I will explore adding AI (AI should not be difficult). The controls are:

-Arrows will let you move around the board
-Enter/2nd will select a piece
-Alpha ends your turn
-Clear exits the game

When you have highlighted a piece, an enlarged image is shown on the right of the playing board.

Thanks, folks :) I guess for now it is at least useful for two player games. My next two games that I want to make in Grammer are Mancala and Tic-Tac-Toe :) Tic-Tac-Toe will have AI for sure :)

I know! As soon as I commented that I was working on checkers, I saw your program, then I posted here that I was working on Mancala and Tic-Tic-Toe and that is being worked on for the Nspire, too :D I find it neat!

[offtopic] You have 21² uprates :D[/offtopic]
I think it is a bit confusing with how tokens and operators are used with some commands which is why I have been meaning to get to work on a custom program editor for Grammer. In any event, I am trying to see if I can somehow manage grayscale better >.> I can do grayscale tilemapping and stuff, it just flickers too much for my liking :/

The parallels between Grammer and Lua are unnerving.  ;D

Ok, you're making lua checkers, I'm making lua mancala, is there anyone making lua tic-tac-toe? :P

It's already been made by Karl Noss. It's on Ti calc, but the release isn't that great  :P Maybe I should try making one! It'll be pretty easy hopefully.

o.o Cool! And I know there have suddenly been a lot of TI-89 or other 68K developers suddenly around, so maybe we can make it for all platforms :D We can be the Board Game Makers Guild :D
