UPDATE #12

added features

added variants support
added giveaway chess
added duckchess (kinda)
added the start of a play screen, still working on it not much yet
added easing functions to some visuals so they appear instead of popping in

fixed bugs/cleanup (like 50% of this devlog)

split code back into multiple files
fixed that puzzle code was directly in frame update loop
tons of crash fixes todo with variants and puzzles
animation broke on variants
draw legal moves didn’t work on custom pieces

future ideas

clock
bots
particle system effects
screen shake
randomize leaves
menu transitions

i was mainly struggling to fix crash bugs this devlog as there were multiple that i had to fix, most notably there was a crash bug when swapping between the game and puzzle menus, and loading a new ruleset for variants. My current plan now is to finish the create game screen, then work on fixing the last duckchess bugs, programming a bot then variants + polish. I may ship again if i get a chance before i finish this though.

Screenshot here shots duckchess in action but I made the duck sprite using AI just so we’re clear about that because i am bad at art.
