Subject: Amazons arrows picture - client side solution
If you'd like to see other image in amazons as arrows than current, you can try Proxomitron.
You can choose your own image to be shown instead of current arrow and much more (change images for other pieces in other games and so on) :-)
it would be nice to see on page with tournaments (after clicking on Tournaments link on left menu) game type too. I know it is possible to filter game type but if I'm interested in seeing / playing more tournaments of different game types, I must choose many times game type to filter tournaments.
I agree with you. I want just to mention that simple picture (maybe one provided by chessmec at http://mec.tuwien.ac.at/private/mnemetz/brainking/redstone.png ) should be used. I like his picture but I think circle could by filled with other - not red - color.
BTW you can make better picture to have regular curve, but it'll have large size. I made smallest picture and then resize them - I think if you start creating every picture separatelly, they should look much better :-)
Fencer: I think circle is good because it is simple.
I have seen many chess boards with very nice pieces - but it was very hard to play chess on them, because you have to concern to recognize which picture is for which piece (and thus you can't concern to game)
That's my opinion of course, maybe others would like to not change anything :-)
grenv: I know it would be faster if I created images, but it was midnight when I was writing my reply :-)
On the other hand I think pictures can be created in few minutes and because this site offers advanced features for paying members, I think it could be created by webmaster. If it were no differences between paying and non paying members, I'd create images of course :-)
But I'm not saying I don't agree with this 'paying' scheme :-) If it were problem for webmaster to create images, I'd create it myself :-)
I'm sorry for broken link (though I think it is correct). Maybe it has been fixed by somewhere :-)
I think circle with appropriate size and color would be fine. You can check this link as an example. IMHO should be circle filled with different color - not grey but say black ?
this site is great, however I have one proposal. It would be nice to have ability to personalize board layout (especially I'm thinking of Amazons board). It is very hard to play Amazons when arrows are represented by really arrows. I think it would be better to use go stone instead. Or (because it is not so easy to implement it) what about changing of Amazons board layout (for all users) ? I think many Amazons player will agree with this proposal.
