graphical meta data - slimy_asparagus - 11-28-2020
With my new found understanding that states are associate with pieces I am trying to rationalize my code. I want the state to display how a piece is displayed. I am not getting this to work. I attach a test file. Each player should have a cross on the left and a square on the right. Also I am not sure why there is something behind, an "A" I suspect.
RE: graphical meta data - slimy_asparagus - 11-29-2020
I made a small amount of progress. I realised it would make sense for me to make use of the Background and Foreground. So I would want the Background to be defined by the piece type and the Foreground to be defined by the state. I have attempted to do that in test2.lud.
It clearly is not working. Also you can now clearly see the "A". I have no idea where that comes from and how to turn it off.
Okay I have found one more piece of information. If I change "place Stack" to just "place" it works and I get the cross on the left and square on the right. This looks like a bug to me.
I still don't know where the "A" comes from though.

So I tried adding

Hi,
The issue with the Letter being shown is that we are trying to find a suitable svg image for the piece name "head" (which does not exist)
Instead of setting a background image, you should rename the head pieces to the image you want.
I.e. Change
(piece Background "Head" image:"square")
to
(piece Rename piece:"Head" "square")
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi,
About the starting rules in your description in which you use (place Stack ... state:...).
I just looked and I saw that the state: parameter was not correctly implemented so I just fix it.
But for the moment, it seems you do not add stack to the hand but just normal piece. Consequently in waiting the next release with that fix, I advice you to just use
(place .... state:...) rather than (place Stack ... state:...)
Regards,
Eric

Eric, Matthew,
The combination of the new version and the Rename idea seem to work. I was not expecting the Rename bit to work actually but it even picks up my custom SVG (albeit still upside down as I am still stuck on that as described in the other thread.)
