Thank you for porting this game to player! :rolleyes:

Here's my feedback:

1) Good color scheme, app icon is good and chessmans are nice :o
2) It's quite easy for me to beat the opponent.
The "Level" feature will be useful - ask the level (and Side) before start the game;
it can be added using Time of Thinking: for example,
for the easiest level player can use only 1 second,
while for the hardest it can be thinking up to 10 seconds.
3) Game is quite stable; however, there were two times
when the player freezed and I had to remove the battery.
Debug codes: 10 (1st) and 11 (2nd).

Chess is the most popular game in the world,
it's the only game which considered as sport,
and were a lot of chess world championships ...

Thanks for sharing this!
If it's ok with you, I would like to upload it to the site and share it with everyone else.

BTW, I have a Rockchip touchscreen player. To use this game, I just copy it to my player? Sorry, not the best with Rockchip players as you can tell. :).

knob	16th Sep 2009 2:41 pm

It's easy!
Just create a folder on your player called GAME put the game file in it and select it from the game menu in the player.

Thanks for the report.
It shows the stack is overflowing :confused:
I will try to modify the implementation of the algorithm.

I tried putting it on my player in the root as well as in the "GAME" folder but it doesn't show up. My player only has Tetris/Blocks game and that's it. As soon as I choose "Game" it just goes straight into the Brick game with no options or menu to select anything else different...... I guess the games don't work for all Rockchip versions?

Chess

I think your player is based on RK27xx chip
(you've mentioned touchscreen and Tetris)
Sorry, these games are only for RK26xx players
(because of RK27xx's firmware restriction, you can play only in Tetris :()
but maybe this problem would be solved.

The opponent is weak! :( Sig11, have you already improved this AWESOME game?
Or working on something new? :confused:

It is necessary for me one more or two days. In the new version there will be a level choice (easy, average, heavy) And it will not hang (I hope)

Here is the version 2.0 of the chess.
How to delete previous version?

knob	24th Sep 2009 12:12 pm

Thanks again sig11. I'll try it out :-)

Binh@MyMPx

24th Sep 2009 1:29 pm

Thanks sig11,
I have updated your original post to also include version 2 as well now.
I thought I'll keep the original version in case someone still wants to try the first version.

Thanks for sharing this with us all.
Can I ask how you did it or what tools you used?

FWTools 2.6.1.0 , Rock GDK from this site. MS VS2003 as text editor. Paint from Windows.... and 20 years of experience :)

knob	24th Sep 2009 3:06 pm

This is much improved! It's got 3 levels.

It should be a challenge for WIZARD now! :D

btw here's how it looks on my player:-

I've just tested the new version: it has three levels
(the main level from v1.0 turned to Easy in v2.0)and improved interface.
The opponent is now strong at the Hard level, he mated me ! :eek:
Thank you, sig11, for this excellent game,
it'll make the long trips much more interesting ! :rolleyes:

I have two ideas about possible Final minor improvements,
which would make the game just the Perfect :rolleyes: :

1) Choose the side : it's quite strange that you can't play for black side, only for white.
(White side requires offensive strategy, but Black - defensive)
It could be asked at the main menu, after the level of difficulty is selected.

2) Move sound : for example, you've chosen the Hard level,
and want not only to play in Chess, but also to read a book or newspaper.
(smart opponent will be thinking carefully, up to several minutes)
With the Move sound, it will not be necessary to check every minute
if it's your turn now or player is still thinking.
I have a good move sound ;) (check the attachment)

Chess

I've found a small bug called "Ghost of the Pawn",
which can be quite confusing:
if you'll make the move En Passant
En passant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and take the enemy's pawn, it will not disappear;
but it will lose the ability to move and eat your chessmans,
and other chessmans can go through it, :eek:
only the image of pawn will remain, like the ghost,
until another chessman will move to it's square to replace the ghost.
Why? Because of the algorithm:
the image of enemy's (and your) chessman which was taken
didn't disappeared, but was replaced with image of chessman who took.
But in the En Passant move one pawn will not replace the image of another,
because after the move it will stay on another square.
How it could be fixed?
Just make the image of the taken chessman
to disappear Not to be replaced.

And, also, have you any luck with MoveSound?

P.S. Hope you still support the Chess game. :confused:
Because, with those two small but important changes,
it'll become just perfect! :rolleyes:

WIZARD

4th Oct 2009 2:39 am

No, I haven't sound working in Timer.
You could use flasher instruction to make the sound working
not only for RK2608's with new firmware.
(I have RK2608, but haven't firmware backup, and update is dangerous :eek:)
After you'll release the new version, I'll test it and tell you the results.

knob	4th Oct 2009 4:37 am

The timer bell worked good on my Rk2608 player, but it would be good if it could work on both type Rk26xx players.

However, there's a bug with the board if you'll play for the Black side :(

Look how it should be and compare with Chess game:
1) Should be:

I d'loaded your Chess v.3.zip. I have a Nextar MA-809 (8gb) player with Rockchip RK2706.-It does not play in GAMES folder-thought RK 26** & my RK27 would be compatable-any advice? Thanks, John(thanks for your work!) rjewelj@comcast.net

There're only a few RK27xx-based players that can launch games.
(that's the firmware problem, not hardware) Sorry :(

Hmmm strange ,very strange. My RK2608A does not have the GAME folder, tried to put the rkp files for several games in the flash memory root and it wont open them. What i do is go to navigation and "click" on the rkp file and the player wont do anything. Any ideas
May be the firmware I have put in is no good? (cant remember if the original one had the GAME folder) Although worked like charm for few years now!
I think its time for a CHANGE! I even want to change some of my theme stuff so its time for NEW FIRMWARE baby!
So anyone have a link for the latest RK2608A firwmare? PLUS the actual LST files please! :( Mine is the one with the biggest screen. But NO camera.
