I know about Vassal, although I never used it.<BR/><BR/>Although it may be able to do anything, it can't possibly be quicker than just saying what you want to do and having your opponent nod his or her head, right?<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehuda Berlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-76092704879623956932009-02-13T09:51:00.000+02:002009-02-13T09:51:00.000+02:00Just a small note.I know this is not what you mean...Just a small note.<BR/>I know this is not what you meant, exactly, but there is a way online where you can change the rules of chess mid game with no programming.<BR/><BR/>There is a wonderful program called vassal, found here: www.vassalengine.org<BR/>This neat little program is a platform on which you can place icons, images, and other useful things and maneuver them through a very simple two-dimensional space.<BR/>Essentially, you can think of the program as a "table" on which you can place images which will be the "game pieces".<BR/>You can use this program with no programming at all, but sometimes you need to throw in small scripts to make things more fluid, such as shuffling a a deck of cards or having an icon transform into a different one with a mouse click.<BR/><BR/>As I said, I know you meant a computerized game that "knows" the rules of the game that can be changed mid game, but still, this is a very powerful tool which does most of what you could do with a game box, a table and a living room.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538050083378769156noreply@blogger.com
