Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

On closer inspection miniature seems to be a different animal altogether, focusing on online play rather than against the computer. Ironically, osso-chess seems to be based on babychess which was also capable of playing online games but that functionality has been stripped out. Go figure.

Well, I think I'm about done with all of the graphics and coloring.

The only thing left to do is change the sound files as well.

I swear Nokia just recorded pots and pans banging together for their game noises. *lol*

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

Okay. Here's pretty much then end of this little project.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Download, unzip and put it on MMC1.

Copy and paste the Chess notes files into Xterm.

Cheers. :)

I want to let the black pieces face to the upper part of the screen, can I just rotate all black pieces with 180 degrees?

I play this a lot with a friend but one of us has always have to look "upsidedown"

I don't know why people want to play against computers, which don't typically play beautiful moves but just manage to grind out wins. Playing people is more fun, and real people are always available online somewhere.

Maybe because computer isn't upset if You must break game in the middle, and You can continue same play after day or two?

C'mon, I understand that you prefer playing with livings - yet, it don't think that it was constructive comment in this project's thread. You could as good say "I don't understand why people are playing chess, when they have OpenTTD available for N900".

I typically play one or three minute games. When I get a phone call in the middle, I can and do resign. You can abandon a game very quickly with a human, if need be.

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

Sorry. I totally missed this question.

No, it's not possible.

Each piece only has one graphic and unfortunately, with two players, the board doesn't rotate per turn.

I also changed the final screenshot of this in my previous post.

I just added some gray around the board.

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

Oh wait... You want all of the black pieces to face the other way?

Yeah, this can be done.

I think it would look a little weird for both of you though.
