Hewo! Last devlog till ship here (i think)

I didn’t think I’d add anything else, but you can now forfeit matches or ask the opponent for a draw! They just seemed like something that should exist on the shipped project…

Each player can request only one draw per match, so you think before you do it. why did i do it like that? well, asking for a draw pauses the whole match, an neither player can do any moves until the draw request is answered. in order to prevent one of the users spamming draws, i simply limited to only one per match.

also, ending the match in a draw doesn’t mean that your ELO isn’t affected, it is affected. depending on the elo of your opponent, you’ll lose/earn elo on a draw, just as you’d do on a stalemate.

I also added a piece promotion selector. i forgot i made it so it always chose the queen by default, but in some matches that might not be wanted, so now you get a popup to select the piece you want to promote to

well, i don’t really know if i’m missing any other things, as that was all that was i had on my TODO list, so i guess i’ll start setting up the prod environment

below is a video showing the forfeit and draw flows, along with the promotion popup. don’t worry about the first match being a valid checkmate but the match continued being active, i already fixed that bug but it didn’t apply to already affected matches :P

i also sped up (is that the correct way to say it?) and cutted out some parts of the video to prevent it from being 6 minutes of me playing the match lol
