Hi, I want to add a piece (let's call it F) which has the following ability. Any black sliding piece (think a Rook, Bishop or Queen) which is two squares north of F is frozen and cannot move. Same for white pieces south of a black F. Can someone help me write the relevant lines in the move sections of the zrf file? | ||

The easiest way is to modify the sliding piece movement. The easiest way is to add a verify at the beginning. Here's an example of changing "slide" to not work if there's an enemy pawn two spaces north: (define slide ((verify (or (not (piece? Pawn dn)) (friend? dn))) $1 (while empty? add $1) (verify not-friend?) add)) The "dn" is an extra move that I added to move two spaces north with added symmetry for the black side. You can probably do without it, but it made the code considerable simpler. | ||

Ye gods... can you give it a rest? You've been posting this doom and gloom for nigh on five years now. Yes, the domain is set to expire. It has before. They keep renewing it. | ||

I just banned a user for harassing people and posting lies. I am sorry people are so rude. Zillions Development has no plans to shut down this website. Mark | ||

Ironically, he's been one of the most active people in keeping the Wikipedia page updated. Otherwise, I'd think that he had a financial interest in keeping that domain he keeps posting in the limelight. He's just got a particular hobby-horse. | ||

Thank you Mark, I was hoping that would happen and I suspect I'm not the only one. -- Greg | ||

Thanks! I starting to get the hang of zrf coding at last. I couldn't define the dn move for some reason, but I did the freezing in this way: n (verify (or (not (piece? F n)) (friend? n))) back | ||

Mark, I can't thank you enough. I wish he'd been banned years ago. | ||

Ah. The modifications I made to the standard chess board to add dn were: (directions (n 0 -1) (e 1 0) (s 0 1) (w -1 0) (ne 1 -1) (nw -1 -1) (se 1 1) (sw -1 1) (dn 0 -2) (ds 0 2) ) and (symmetry Black (n s)(s n) (nw sw)(sw nw) (ne se)(se ne) (dn ds)) | ||

Why is the ZILLIONS-OF-GAMES.com domain expiration indicated for the immovable one-and-only deadline of FEB 28.2015, at MOSTPOPULARWEBSITES.net? | ||
