LÖVE

Hi guys!

I made these two things as Christmas presents a few weeks ago for some of my family and I just received their permission to post them here.

Cowboy Chess - Ver_1.0

• Play only as White
• The AI hasn't been fully setup (it's totally random the moves it picks)
• Unable to castle or use en passant
• Haven't been able to pinpoint a bug against the AI when it's supposed to be check'd

-- I just suggest for now that you enjoy slaughtering all of black's pieces and trying to pin the king into the corner for fun. Trying to play "real" chess game against the AI + bugs in the state they are in is a waste of time. Just play a few blitz games and have at it!



Maggie Mae's Poker Room - Ver_1.0

• Click on the cards in your hand to select them for discard
• Pressing [C] will result in call bet, or a check
• Pressing [F] will result in folding and a new hand will be dealt
• Click on chips to the bottom right to bet
• The AI is semi-setup, but it tends to fold - A LOT
• The event text for player's actions isn't setup (ie. Player "x" folds/bets) so there may be some confusion as to what just happened as the next hand will just skip ahead (if AI folds you won't get a notification)

-- The AI is stingy with chips. The only times when it bets are when it has at least a pair. Later on I will be adding a "bluffing" mechanic to it's betting patterns, but for now it calculates it's hands and will only bet with something "decent".





Notice - Both programs will be updated twice a year (birthday's and Christmas) so progress will be continuous.

Also my family was trying to run the programs on a windows computer and told me that it wouldn't work. They said they downloaded love from the wiki, and it runs correctly, as the default "game slave" execution would work. But when they tried to download the .love program it was showing a bunch of files instead of the love.exe, screenshot is below,

I'm not sure what to have them do to fix the problem?

The filename in the screenshot has the ‘*.zip’ extension so Windows is opening it like an archive.

Nice demos though. Although as a Chess fan I have to say it is a little strange to see White on the top of the board.

Ok, but they downloaded it straight from the links I provided (which were .love files) and they didn't rename the files themselves to .zip's soooo is that 7zip doing that through some kind of default setting?

My guess is that 7zip is setup to be the default program for opening zip archives. 7zip does not arbitrarily rename files though. They need to rename the files to have the correct extension.

I've seen some browsers "correct" file extensions in the past. It is likely that dropbox is saying, "hey this is a zip", and then the browser renames it.
