As for the technicals, it's all custom scripting (which usually consists of 60% C++ and 40% duct tape).
100% black magic for me. I'm not a script guy, at all. :cheeky:
It's the fact you transcribed the fruit 2.1 into the DarkEngine which baffles me.

Ah, the secret there is that I didn't. My script spawns it as a separate process and communicates with it over anonymous pipes using the UCI chess protocol. You can actually just replace the
engine.ose file with a stronger UCI engine, if you want an extra challenge. ;)

Congrats on the release, I'm about to fire it up!
Thank heavens for the mini board on the table! I'd never have been able to focus or plan well without it.

I'm glad it's useful. :) It was surprisingly hard to find decent low-poly chess piece models (and then simplify the meshes even further to Dark's ultra-low-poly standard). By the way, how weird is it to hear yourself as you're playing? It would drive me crazy. :laff:

Is simply amazing, kdau! Just wondering how it works? :weird:

It bothered me at first a long time ago, but I kind of got used to what my voice sounds like so it doesn't bother me anymore.
I mostly don't mind it at all now so long as the lines aren't corny. The cringetastic intro to Nostalgia does drive me up the wall, though. :o
