Infinite Chess Program created by Naviary -- Setup + Feedback + Screenshots

Hmm... I'll try java... 1 more time... otay?

"Java hates you. You are now permanently banned from installing java for no reason."

Downloaded it... again.

did you follow a tutorial 👹

I think I'll post some pictures here of fascinating shots / glitches / art / optical illusions when I've been developing or just playing around...

No.

Wow what glitches!

here is the read me folder
SETUP:

Running the jar file the first time by double-clicking it will automatically create the required directories and force quit. You will then need to drag the *uncompressed* “Photos” folder (downloaded from google drive) containing all the required png’s into this location: “C:\chess folder\Infinite Chess\”. The program should have already created the folders “Games” and “Screen Captures”. It should work now!

If after this and the app is still crashing on startup - run the jar file using a command prompt (or terminal window) by typing this: “java -jar”, followed by a *space*, then drag the jar file into the command window, and hit enter! This will print any console messages / errors to the command window. After it’s done running (or in this case, crashing), take a picture of the results and send it to me so I can debug the problem!

If you find any bugs, or want to request features message me!

All Controls:

There are currently 10 available game slots. Keys 1-9 and 0 will load these respective games. Game on startup is slot 1.

To save a game, push the Escape key on the top-left of your keyboard. IMPORTANT you don’t forget to push this before switching games because it does not automatically save!

To delete a game, hold the respective game slot number.

To copy and paste a game, push Y and U.

Use W and S to zoom in/out. To vastly increase the zoom speed, also hold left-shift.
Use the arrow keys to pan.

To move a piece, click it, then click the destination square.

To add a piece, click R to toggle between Add-White, Add-Black, and disabled modes. Hotkeys Q and E to cycle left / right through all available pieces. Ghost piece will be visible before placement!

Right-click to paint a square. Right-click it again to de-paint it.
There are 6 palettes. Push Z for orange highlight boxes. Push X for rainbow auras. Push C for black triangles on corners. Push V for spikes. Push B for black boxes. N currently doesn’t render anything. Palettes are saved to the game file. Push O to delete, and P to delete just the Z and B palettes.

To toggle arrows and circles and line paths showing you where existing pieces are, push Tab.

To enter coords to teleport to, push Enter, proceed to enter x coord, push Enter, enter y 

coord, push Enter.

To cycle/pan to the next existing piece push “]” to shuffle right and “[“ to shuffle left.

To take a screenshot, click the rounded gray box in the top-right corner.

To toggle Fullscreen, hit F.

To toggle rendering of the board and coordinates, hit ` or ~ next to the escape key.

To toggle piece deletion when placing pieces atop one-another, push M.

Push , to print to the console total point strengths of each team!

Push . to take a 20% chance to delete any existent obstacles (solid-black zombies in group white).

To quit, hit Alt > F4 on Windows machines. Command > Q on macs.

Wow...

I ALMOST GOT IT! But... crashes when I click it.

Have you gotten to the point it creates the directories?

cool rendering errors whilst writing new methods of rendering the checkerboard using a texture instead of 1 box at a time:

A ton of barriers- as you can see the algorithm is not quite perfect. but still works well

when the coordinate system was still young-

this one relatively new-

I... HAS... GOOOOOOOOT IT!!!

Now, where is the sandbox upload? How do I work it?

WORKING?!?!?! 😃😃😃

Maybe I can mod using my game file if I learn how to use it.

YES!

You should take a picture for me for proof it works!!

I'll give you a download of update #41.......

I didn't know what the gray box did, so I pressed it 8 times lol
