Terachess

[jcfrog]

Adding Terachess, includes a 10 pieces upgrade of Fairy set.

[leytilera]

how i can play this? it is really confusing

[jcfrog]

this is just the code of the game on my fork, we will probably do what is needed in the beginning of next week to make it available on a playable page.

[mi-g]

I just tested terachess in virtual reality. Just ... wowww !

I see just a small issue. The abbrev field for Pawns should be an empty string like in other chess variants and not "P", so a first move should be written as "1. i4-i6" instead of "1. Pi4-i6".

[jcfrog]

ok! Just did it. So pawns now have empty abbrev, but I added a P fenAbbrev like in other games: abbrev : '', fenAbbrev: 'P',

But what am I supposed to do now? :) I was about to send another PR for Gigachess which is now available. Do you Pull everything in one go?

[mi-g]

I believe merging the Pull Request is applied from your entire branch. Are we ok, you committed all the recent changes and pushed then to your fork branch on github ? If so, i will merge the PR.

[jcfrog]

@mi-g yes, everything is pushed on my fork for terachess and gigachess

[mi-g]

After the merge, Jocly runs smoothly both Terachess and Gigachess on my side. Well done !

[leytilera]

@mi-g i thought your page is jocly but i cant fint terachess on jocly.

[mi-g]

You can run terachess as a Jocly browser example from here. Source code is here (look for terachess*.* files).

[leytilera]

the jocly browser dont works

[mi-g]

Did you try clearing your browser cache ?

[leytilera]

yes

[mi-g]

What does

the jocly browser dont works

mean exactly ?

[leytilera]

the table with the buttons is there but where the board should be is a whitescreen

[mi-g]

What browser are you using ?

[leytilera]

chrome

[mi-g]

from the same browser, are you able to run 3D games from jocly.com ?

[leytilera]

yes

[mi-g]

can you check the browser console while loading the terachess example ? do you see any suspicious message ?

[leytilera]

[mi-g]

That's weird if it still works on jocly.com. Can you close the tab you were in and create another one on the page.

[leytilera]

than comes the same problem

[leytilera]

i tested it also with edge, firefox and opera but there comes the same errors

[mi-g]

Is the problem specific to terachess, can you run a regular chess version ?

[leytilera]

the problem is on every variant

[mi-g]

Are you able to run joclyboard on the same computer ?

[leytilera]

yes

[jcfrog]

hi, did you start a local web server?

[mi-g]

Really strange, joclyboard is running the same Jocly code, in a Chromium browser. Do you mean you can run joclyboard right now on your PC ? I was thinking of a GL resource exhaustion currently on your computer. It might be worth restarting the PC.

[mi-g]

@jcfrog: he is running directly from the github server. Can you try the same link on your side ?

[jcfrog]

the pages given by @mi-g work fine here

[leytilera]

when i try it on my webserver there is only the "jocly on github" and the "other jocly games" buttons but i cant click them

[mi-g]

@MineProjectZ: do we agree you run your server from the root Jocly directory and point the browser to http://localhost/examples/browser/control.html ?

[leytilera]

no it is this: http://vps.mineprojectz.net/jocly-master/examples/browser/control.html?game=tera-chess

[mi-g]

It looks like you did not build Jocly. You must run gulp build from the root Jocly directory as specified in the README

[leytilera]

oh, that i dont have seen

[mi-g]

Anyway, i don't see how it would make a difference from what you get from the github servers. Did you try restarting your PC ?

[leytilera]

no, i try it now

[leytilera]

after the restart the problem is still there

[mi-g]

I'm sorry, i don't see what the problem can be, given that it works for you on jocly.com and joclyboard. I will release a new version of JoclyBoard that includes terachess, it will be worth giving a try.

[leytilera]

thank you

[jcfrog]

what's your node version? I had problems with v8. v7 seems better.

[mi-g]

The latest version of JoclyBoard (0.9.12 available from here) includes TeraChess, GigaChess and Wild Tamerlane. Can you give it a try ?

[leytilera]

yes, jocly board works good. i also testet the control.html with node v7 but there is also the problem. i think the problem is in the /dist/browser/jocly.core.js in line 290. i testet the control.html on other divices. on every device that not has windows 10 it works but on every windows 10 device i have the same error.

[mi-g]

Damned. I just gave it a try again and the control.html page worked fine for me on Windows 10 with both Firefox and Chrome. It does not work with Edge though. It could be a hardware driver issue, but the strange thing is that it works for you with JoclyBoard, i.e running the same code in a Chromium browser. Does this demo work for you ? It uses the same 3D library as Jocly.

[leytilera]

no, there comes this message: Your graphics card does not seem to support WebGL. Find out how to get it here.

[mi-g]

That's interesting. Can you follow the Find out how to get it here link to see if it gives some clues ?

[leytilera]

it opens a whitescreen

[mi-g]

Do we agree you get this problem on both Firefox and Chrome (recent versions) ? Could you give it a try using the Chromium browser ? Chromium is the open-source base of Chrome. This is the browser used to run JoclyBoard.

[leytilera]

i try it
