 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi Harm, I have only tested the 320 version by setting Option LCD320 on I've just found in RC24 Peter seems to have disabled this for my display a ILI9488, I'll have to see why? Anyway it still runs on my screen, which is a 480x320 LCD, just in the top left corner. I can't think of any new functionality, maybe just give it a go with the new RC if you don't mind. All of those bits are done using Print @, if that helps. Then the whole framebuffer is copied f, n. Regards Kevin Edited 2025-05-21 05:24 by Bleep |

Kevin, When adding "MODE 2" as first command in the "chess320LCD.bas" it runs flawless on RC24 VGA unit. So the code is fine. I will look into it further, why it does not work on the ILI9341 in the Game*Mite. Volhout . PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Kevin, There is something different between 640VGA and 320LCD. When white wins, 640VGA message is "White Mates". However 320LCD says "Black Mates". Any idea ? I think in the 320 version the red(black) and white tiles are swapped. The white queen starts out on a black field... looks wrong. Volhout . PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Harm, I have a GameMite, so have wired it up. I have found you need to set OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 7 Then it works fine, presumably this is required because I use Print @ ? Regards Kevin |

Hi Harm, You are quite correct, the LCD colours are reversed, :-( I'll make it better! Regards Kevin. |

@Kevin, LCD version that runs on a Game*Mite. Uses COM1 at gp16/gp17 since that is available on the edge connector. chess320LCD_hdl2.zip Now we only need to find a method to use the buttons to select a function or character. I can imagine using the cursor buttons to navigate from chess board field to chess board field. Select by using "A" button, use "B" for "undo". And at the bottom have pre-fixed commands like "AUTO", "NEW", "SET PLY", "HELP". We may even think about dropping the moves list, making the board bigger. Volhout P.S. too bad we use the framebuffer. It is 16 colors. It would be so good to use the 16 bit colors of the LCD to make a realistic chess board. Near photo quality. And then develop a small RP2350 PCB that directly plugs into the Game*Mite edge connector. EDIT: new upload to fix a bug. . Edited 2025-05-21 23:48 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi Harm, I have used your improved Input function, in both LCD versions, it allows an extra line on the display, especially useful on the 320LCD, along with all the other changes/suggestions, including GP16,GP17, for GameMite. Regards Kevin. ChessClient.zip |
