That worked

Game with Camelopards. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Megalomachy. A huge game with 2x80 pieces, some able to jump over many others. (16x16, Cells: 256) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]One of us could make it. I'm interested in trying this too
I thought that might be the case. They don't seem too different from pieces I've done before with GAME code. It's the Terror that looks most difficult, actually. I have not yet managed to comprehend rule enforcing for multi-moving pieces.
Might it work to use the generated code for most of it and manually define the pieces that wouldn't work?
I think the Terror would not be problematic for the automatic conversion
If I'm reading the rules correctly, the ID doesn't handle the capture restriction for the Terror.
You must remove borders=0 because that messes it up somehow
Has anyone besides me even used this piece? It seems strange to say it's generally known as anything. A less overused alternative could be Salamander, although that does seem to be used in Typhoon for KmyadabuQ4. Striped Dragon sounds like a decent solution.

Megalomachy. A huge game with 2x80 pieces, some able to jump over many others. (16x16, Cells: 256) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]For the terror trading rule, would it work to have set protected (EA T t) in pre-move 1 and set protected (ea T t) in pre-move 2?
or maybe they should be in post-game 2 and 1?
They work the same as in the interactive diagram, only jumping over enemies.
I've never had a problem with them and it's still unclear to me what that would look like.
Megalomachy. A huge game with 2x80 pieces, some able to jump over many others. (16x16, Cells: 256) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Sorry, I was wrong. The real explanation is that they only jump to capture. It works correctly anyhow.
Game Courier. PHP script for playing Chess variants online.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It's because I failed to add the necessary aliases to get the names to display more coherently. Some pieces are defined separately for white and black because of color or direction dependent moves. Aanca is defined as such in fairychess so it will show that way unless overridden by an alias.

Monster Mash. Armies consist of classic monsters and scary creatures. (13x13, Cells: 169) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It would be easier if the vulture's description specified which paths it is allowed to follow. Maybe I'm the only one this is unclear to.
It doesn't. I wouldn't understand how it moves without the interactive diagram. I'm thinking something like "moves to the squares (1,4) by making exactly three orthogonal and one diagonal step in any order, all in the same direction." Even that doesn't clearly exclude a move that only allows a single turn in the path

Is it possible for css to work with the horizontal or vertical hexagons shapes?

The code is just copied from Chinese Chess with some pieces added, so I don't think I changed anything important, yet it's saying I'm in check when I'm not.
oops, this is it

I'm trying to change the visibility of this page to members-only from private, but it says "you are limited to submitting nine of your games for review and publication at a time" and fails even though I only see that I have two submissions for review. Is the submissions for review page not showing everything?
