Problems with colors and rotation #24

Open lattice0 opened 3 years ago

lattice0 commented 3 years ago

Hello, I just discovered this bot after watching The Queen's Gambit and I've been playing with a friend. The icons are just very difficult to understand. The difference between black and white are very subtle.

I think a good way to overcome this would be to create a second and optional set of pieces with emojis. A girl for queen, a boy for king, and the rest could be decided. Remember that these emojis have a very black option and a very white option, so it'll have a good contrast.

Also the rotation confused me a lot. I tried to fix so it would not rotate but it didn't work.

Support and donate buttons also did not work.

Thanks!

I think these are a good start:

pawns: 🙍🏿‍♂️🙍🏻‍♂️

horses: 🐎🎠

towers: 🕴🏻🕴🏿

king: 🤴🏻🤴🏿

queen: 👸🏻👸🏿

What you think?
