Simplexity game - fbarbe - 02-10-2021

Hi,

I tried to write the game "Simplexity" (with high priority on the Ludii Portal Wishlist), but doesn't quite behave as expected: the piece are not displayed on the board, and also appear to be put in an unexpected position (but should be evaluated once they're actually visible.
The graphics should be changed to match the "square" and "circle" graphic and maybe also the board but I don't quite know how to do that yet.

Is there anything I can do to make it better?

Kind Regards,
Fabio Barbero

Hi Fabio,

I see two problems immediately.

1. The pieces are called names that we have no corresponding SVG image for, If you add this to your metadata it should fix it.

(piece Rename piece:"WhiteCircle" "Disc")
(piece Rename piece:"WhiteSquare" "Square")
(piece Rename piece:"BlackCircle" "Disc")
(piece Rename piece:"BlackSquare" "Square")

2. The connect-4 Style is a special board style where the colour of each space is based on the owner of the piece that is place there. As all your pieces are neutral this won't work. I suggest using a normal board without the connect 4 style, you can see an example in the original Connect-4 game which has an option for 2D modellisation.

Cheers,
Matthew
