WDSibyl Chess

WDSchess V1.0 readme file Compiled by Peter Brown 31/03/2020 from the chess sample source code included with the WDSibyl development package Install_20100117.zip from https://www.wdsibyl.org/ I have added some code to:- 1] Create, write, read an ini file that stores the position on screen at exit and the current selected Difficulty level 2] Positions the game centre screen on startup if the stored screen position is partially off screen I have changed the name from os2chess to WDSchess partly to avoid confusion if an os2chess package already exists and also to differentiate from the original source code. Installation ------------ To install simply unzip contents of WDSchess.zip to your choice of location. Then run WDScreate.cmd to create a program object in the Games folder - or right mouse button click on WDSchess.exe and select Create Program Object WDSchess interface ------------------ The Game Menu contains: New - start a new game Options - set Difficulty level Exit - close The Move Menu contains: Take Back - undo move(s) Hint - suggests next move Change Colors - computer plays White All moves are recorded in the Moves output window. Buttons: Take Back Move - undo move(s) Hint - suggests next move Do Move! - ask the computer to perform your move Stop! - does not seem to do anything... I will have to try and work out what it is meant to do. Possible future development: Save current game and Load a saved game Modified Source code -------------------- The WDS_src.zip file contains the files that I modified and a readme detailing how to setup the project.
