Yes, I meant that these visuals will be easy to use from now.

The publication of your mnemonic SVGs will favour their diffusion; Well done they are very intuitive

It is a good idea to publish these pictograms. I confirm that the Chu Shogi applet is a success

I agree that it would be better with radial lines. These SVGs deserve to be improved, let's say that for the moment it is just a draft.

Here's also a set of 100 px icons that could be used as the basis for an interactive diagram set. It can, of course, be improved.

Someone might have downloaded it.

here is a one week link : http://biscandine.fr/echange/f.php?h=39JMHvYp&d=1

Send an email if you need more information because it's not yet mature enough to be shared more widely


François Houdebert wrote on Sat, Aug 10, 2024 07:23 AM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from Fri Aug 9 11:09 PM:

I have some svg (mnemonic or jocly style). If you need, I can share.


Wa Shogi. Game with many different rather weak pieces, with or without drops. (11x11, Cells: 121) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I have the impression that the interactive diagram is missing a line to design the royal piece:

royal=17


Tenjiku Shogi. Fire Demons burn surrounding enemies, Generals capture jumping many pieces. (16x16, Cells: 256) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I've taken some of the comments into account while maintaining consistency with the previous graphs, in the hope that this will be enough to help one to get started quickly on the game : tenjiku-rules


François Houdebert wrote on Sun, Jun 16, 2024 06:23 AM EDT in reply to H. G. Muller from 05:24 AM:

I made the most immediate corrections.
As for the rest, I'm not sure I understood how to represent the 2nd diagram.

Do you have time to propose a scheme that suits you?


François Houdebert wrote on Sun, Jun 16, 2024 04:52 AM EDT in reply to H. G. Muller from 04:34 AM:

Would a scheme like this be more interesting?
We can also remove the blue arrows, the "show moves" option may be enough to understand these moves with a little explanation in the rules.


François Houdebert wrote on Sun, Jun 16, 2024 04:30 AM EDT in reply to H. G. Muller from 01:38 AM:

The blue arrows are an attempt to represent the hit-and-run captures


François Houdebert wrote on Sat, Jun 15, 2024 05:04 PM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from 04:08 PM:

Correct. I keep the image


François Houdebert wrote on Sat, Jun 15, 2024 12:47 PM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from 12:24 PM:

Do you like the graph better in that version ?


François Houdebert wrote on Sat, Jun 15, 2024 02:23 AM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from Fri Jun 14 09:31 PM:

Indeed, I made the correction (same link).

Thanks


François Houdebert wrote on Fri, Jun 14, 2024 04:49 PM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from 03:49 PM:

I made a quick modification for Vice General graph and the jumping restriction (same link).

I'm not sure I understood the remark about the fire demon : the graph reflects the movement chosen in the implementation and the icon corresponds to the latest sprites to my knowledge (included in the zip). Concerning the choice of movement, I also noticed that there were several versions.

We'd probably have to make a choice at the level of chessvariant for reasons of consistency. Personally, I can't say which one is best for the game.

I made a little rule to document the set view of tenjiku in jocly with graphs of the moves.
This can help you get started on tenjiku when you know chu shogi.
If you are interested, you can use it.

François Houdebert wrote on Sun, Jun 9, 2024 02:26 PM EDT:

The move of the fire demon is different between jocly and Interactive diagram.

It seems to me that the vertical movement was a deliberate choice, even if it's different on some sites (wikipedia). I don't know if the consensus has changed, but it would be nice to harmonize the two implementations.

I'm going to keep the old one, I'm not sure I'll be able to change the black stag properly. These images may be useful one day for something else.


François Houdebert wrote on Fri, May 17, 2024 04:02 AM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from Thu May 16 09:17 PM:

I made the change.

I wondered whether I should try to draw a different sprite because the movement is different from the flying stag.
I gave it a try, and we can change for it if you like, or try to do it better...

taken into consideration

thanks

Thanks.

I've taken the comment into account, which will improve the doc.


François Houdebert wrote on Sun, May 5, 2024 02:58 PM EDT in reply to A. M. DeWitt from Sat May 4 11:54 AM:

I take it that's the program you use for making the SVG?

Here is the lightburn project if usefull to you
