Greetings everyone!
Today I recieved a newer beta version of Economy Chess v2! Many new features have been added, which is great! However, this requires alot of testing too and I could use every little bit of help to find all the issues.
What do you have to do?
I am looking for Monkeytesters. A monkeytester just clicks around in the game and reports when things don't go as expected. Knowledge of computerprogramming is not nescessary.
Send me a message with your e-mail address and I'll send you the game + instructions. At the end of December I will send the bugreport to the programmer.
How much time will it cost you?
That's up to you. Even 1 or 2 hours of clicking and reporting would be great!
What's in it for you?
- The more we test, the better the game will be!
- You have a sneak preview to the game.
- You will be mentioned in the "special thanks to"-section of the game as a tester.
The beta version of Economy Chess v2 is out!
We need people to help Monkeytesting! The final bugreport will be sent to the programmer at the end of December. People can still help testing, send me a message!
How to open the game, sent by email?
The first thing you have to do is to rename the downloaded file. If you have Windows: right click -> rename -> change the file extension from .zip_rename to .zip -> confirm (the system will ask whether you really want to do it) -> extract
Things that need testing:
- Play around with the UNDO button.
Try to write down which moves you make in the bugreport. When do you get an error message?
- Does the NOTATION work properly?
There are some exceptional situations in chess that require special notation: castling, multiple piece capture. Is the notation displayed correct? When you export the moves does it show notation correct?
- Saving and Loading seems buggy.
Try to save various positions in various ways: does it save promoted pawns? castling on/off? Does it save income etc correctly?
- Play around in the Chess960 using various settings
Do you get errors? Are things not working?
Always note down in a document which steps you made. Also try to give as much possible information about the bug. We have to reproduce the bug to be able to fix it.
Make screenshots (ctrl-print scrn and then ctrl-v in a document) to show us what you see
Thanks alot everyone already!!
