[EDIT 2007/11/14] new version XBoard 4.2.7 iLiad 0.2 is out.
The most important new feature is: engine Phalanx with adjustable strength.
I have attached a screenshot showing that I checkmated Phalanx [easy level 100] in 13 moves. Phalanx with low strength plays real blunders [bad moves w/o progress], so beginners have a chance to win a match.
[EDIT 2007/11/08] Please wait for the new version. It should be out in a short period of time. I'm an inveterate optimist.
Please read post
#15:
# Features of coming version are described there
# Why the menu was working all the time, but nobody said something.
[EDIT 2007/09/22] I have tweaked the starting shell script of Xboard/GNU Chess a bit.
Please replace the new
run.sh with the old one, you can find it here on your memory card:
Programs/gnuchess/run.sh
The new run.sh patches the following:
# autosaving of all your games in "_local/home/iLiad.pgn" on memory card
# no more path entering needed in load/save dialog, just type for example iLiad.pgn or 2.pgn
# highlighting of last move

Well, my port doesn't solve the non-working menu, but we can now play the black side of world & use XBoard as a pgn-viewer. Colours of chess board were corrected, bad ghosting of old port is gone.[1]
[EDIT]: [1] "bad ghosting of old port is gone." Well, this could have been said by a PR-Manager. 
I have set:
Code:
-animateDragging false -animateMoving false
Some
Code:
dmDisplay(dmCmdPriorUrgent, dmQFull);
are needed to get rid of ghosting.
[EDIT II]: Yep, design256 added some
Code:
dmDisplay(dmCmdPriorUrgent, dmQTyping);
in src.
Right now my port lives w/o
Code:
#include <liberdm/erdm.h>
#include <liberipc/eripcbusyd.h>
#include <liberipc/eripc.h>
I will change this. 
[EDIT III]: Uhh, I found in design256's src how he got the chess board to the middle of the srceen. Right now it lies next to the left. |
src can you find
here.
very OT. Yes, i have now a ftp account to upload files to MR.
