include a decsion move to allow updating a piece or a site - dale walton - 10-31-2023
I would like to have a decision move for changing the nature of a piece.
(move SetPiece State/Value/Count (from <sites>) (to <value to be selected from a list>)) source:List/Keyed/Samples) -- For deciding to alter pieces
(move SetSite ... -- For deciding to alter the behavior of a site.
For games where for example:
A dice can be rotated or flipped to a new Pip value,
Power, range or scoring value is chosen to be conferred on, added to or subtracted from a piece.
A piece promoted to one of many types (e.g. if the piece movements are basically the same, but consequences after movement will be different)
other unforeseen uses.
The concept is the ludeme should first have the player select a from location (with a piece) and then choose a value according to selected options, to assign from a list, or from images of the piece that show it in the potential states, or from a typed entry)
If in the future sites can also have values or states, it is foreseeable that a decision to assign a value or state to a site might be a useful ludeme as well....
