Tenjiku Shogi #824

Open Eventlesstew opened 6 months ago

Eventlesstew commented 6 months ago

Tenjiku Shogi is a 16x16 chess variant that is essentially a more beefed up version of Chu Shogi and Dai Shogi but good lol. Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenjiku_shogi

Here's a summary of some of the new pieces introduced in this variant:

So yeah, there's that. BTW if the big boards are becoming an issue for viewing, (Which I can defs see for Tenjiku) I also suggest adding a feature to zoom into the board for better viewing. Might make a separate issue explaining that in more detail soon.

image Btw I already have an FCZ set ready to go if you're in need of piece sets.

Any Chu Shogi set can be reused as a base, there's only 16 new piece designs to make. (Or about 27 for normal + promoted pieces and 54 for N+P but for each side.)

Horned Falcon and Soaring Eagle promote to Bishop General and Rook General, respectively.

Realised that when compiling the pieces into seperate SVGs lol, same with the flying generals' jumping hierarchy so that is now shown too lol.

Eventlesstew commented 5 months ago

Jumping hierarchy is how certain flying generals can't jump over other fliers.

amdewitt commented 5 months ago

Note that the jumping hierarchy also includes the King and Prince, both at the highest rank.

Eventlesstew commented 5 months ago

Their recognition as royal pieces helps identify that they cannot be jumped over by flying generals, so they're all good.
