I'm createing a simple chess game, and now i need someone to create BMP images of figures from the chess 49x49 with

transparent background.
If someone want's to accept the job only thing i could give to him is credits.

To understand that i'm serious download this simple demo.
Only thing you can do is to move around the pointer...

did you want pics of the figures or their representing symbols?

Probably symbols that will represent figures with which we will play.

DO just a characters at the moment, and try to work on logic. ;)

shouldn't be too hard to copy the Staunton patter symbols (as used to draw chess puzzles/games/positions in newspapers, etc.) into bmp, even if it's just a placeholder.

SO does someone wants to create few figs or don't...

I don't know if i've the time or if you you have too hurry, anyway i cuold try to do something... but how have to be these chess pieces?
Simple, odd, minimalist? Tell me more... i don't promise nothing to you, but if i fuond the time...

EDIT: I realized only now (i'm not so smart in these days... too work...) that you want transparet Bitmap!! Well this is something that i can't do for you, cause transparent Bitmaps don't exist, it's a programming problem!
The best i can do is drawing the figures and the masks you need, but you have to put more code in your program to call the API for the tranparent effect.
Look here, here and here: you'll find three ways to do that!

Here, a new updated version. Now you can move figures, only thing i miss is pics and chess theory (the last one i will add later)

@Quintopotere

First, i don't mind if you do double post becouse this way who knows when would i have seen your EDIT.

Second, if you would like to do those pixel arts for me i'll need them until monday.
For transparency just paint the background in RGB(0,0,0) caouse my game is for now in 8 bit colors.

Let me know your decision soon as you can. :max:

I'm sorry, but i can't do that for monday... rip the figures from the web, doing a screenshot you'll have instantaneously all the figures... :D

If you need them later tell me!

Wow, you are quick!

NP i'll try to find someone.

Here, FINALLY , after 2 and a half afternoons my chess is almost finished.

Now you have the game , there is theory , only thing i now miss is pics , nice colours , and text aside of board.

Salutant! :ok:

i tried and i've to report two problems:

- i'm not able to exit by pressing ESC button like i was doing in your first release
- you have to know that the peons can move of 2 square in their first move!

Now exit is transfered to Q.
By real chess rules peon can move only by one, if you want to move by two you would have to ask your oppenent first.
If that bothers you i could add it later. Now i lack time, as this must be working until tuesday. Still have to add victory position...

Yeah and learn Croatian and History as well. :ranting:


Anyway thanks for the warnings.

The double move for the first pawn move and the rarely needed 'en passant' rule about taking them are standard internationally accepted rules - it'd certainly bother me if it's not in there!

I'll fix that later .

doesn't run under linux.
not in wine or cedega or dosbox

edit:needs the msvcrt 70 71 runtimes. Didn't download those.

Oh well another time :)

Yes, just found out about that one at school now.

I' attacht it later at home (i'm now in school).

And now i'm thinking of leaving this project, it was interesting to create something like "real" game. This was my first one , so the next one will be better.

Thinking about kind of tetris ... Who knows time is precious now?! :angel:
