Grid Games #13 - Game Log, Basic UI, Piece Models
This update again brings a few new things, firstly with a game log that tracks the moves taken. This game log is in Chess Notation and designed so that in the future I can add game replays and a way to import and export games via their logs. There is also the start of a basic UI designed to show who's turn it is and their last move taken, though this is not yet functional, and finally the cubes have been replaced with actual models for the pieces.
Grid Games:
Ultimately I am aiming to create a digital version of Taikyoku Shogi, however I intend to work my way up to a game of that scale by first creating smaller grid based games, such as Chess, Draughts/Checkers, or even the smaller Shogi variants. I aim to construct the underlying workings of the game in such a way that creates minimal work when creating a new variant, intending for all common features across Chess, Draughts, and Shogi to be managed in the same way such that I can just feed the game the correct variables and and it will all set up automatically.
