The description says it all really.

Started working on this during the PSN outage, was kinda a spur of the moment thing. Had no idea that it would take me so long to do. Had numerous problems upon the way, but I'm pretty sure that everything is how it should be now. If anyone does find any problems (please God no ), do let me know.

Very well done. Enjoyed the intro a lot haha. Great animations and noises. Only thing I might recommend is to maybe have switchable music tracks? I don't know if that is possible but it would be great. Also, maybe have circle also be able to deselect a selected piece? Great job on the level though, great execution!


If you could play my new level Emeria (thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=56855-Emeria&p=853199) / lbp.me (http://lbp.me/v/yzfc42)) and leave some feedback in my thread that would be great. Thanks for your level!

Thanks a lot mate.

Well.... I mean I probably could have circle deselect a piece..... but the logic is already complicated enough as it is (moreso than you'd expect for a simple game of checkers). I could put switchable music tracks in, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Can't say that I'm not disappointed with the amount of plays this has got.... I mean.... people like checkers don't they? I don't know if it's an entirely original idea, like I said it was very spur of the moment. But I think that next time I create a level, I'm gonna call it "The Zombie Bomb Survival Water Park Press X Fast with Free Costumes Challenge"...... I think I'll manage to get more plays then

I shall give your level a go.

Fantastic work with Draughts ! It is clear that beyond this level is a lot of effort and logics. I used to play international Draughts, this version is my less known. So my question would perhaps be strange and dummy, but still: in the international version has to be captured more pieces if there is a choice between more and less. Here I do less and have not been prevented.
Others:
- sometimes selecting is hard going, especially the king
- when (after the tutorial) I returned my sackboy in front of entrance, film was reiterated, but without text.
Generaly, level looks great.
To me Draughts awakens some good memories. I like this what you made​​. I know that there are lot of logics behind the level, but it would be nice to have and automation in unique capturing too. However, I hearted and yayed level.

I hope I was clear, despite my bad english.

If you have 5 minutes, please play my versus level Mad house (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=56662-Mad-House) LBP.me (http://lbp.me/v/z4bz-y)

"... and kill Justin Bieber and destroy the city". I share the disappointment with you.

Thanks for playing. I'm not quite sure what you mean with the "more or less" part. Do you mean, for example:

There are 2 of your pieces that can capture an opponents piece. One of your pieces can do a multiple capture and take 2 pieces, the other can only capture one piece..... you have to do the one that captures 2 pieces?

I've made selection a little easier. Working on sorting out the camera thing, something odd is going on there, that should't be happening.

When you say "automation", you you mean having a computer controlled player?


"... and kill Justin Bieber and destroy the city". I share the disappointment with you.

True.

Thanks for your input, I've added your Mad House level to my queue

Yes, that's what I thought.

I mean to automatically perform a single move. If you have only one choice and you have to take a piece, "PS3" does it for you. It is not necessary, it is my wish. I have them yet, but I do not want to exaggerate.

With regards to you first point, I know of no such rule where you have to do the move that involves the most takes, and even if there was, I would have no idea of how to implement it. How my system works is that there are tag sensors that recognise when a piece is able to be taken. This takes into account whether there is a piece blocking it or not, or whether a piece is by the side of the board (therefore cannot be taken). There is also a counter which activates when a piece has been taken. If there are no more pieces available to be taken in that move, the counter is reset.

Having the ps3 automatically complete one of your moves is just a bit to complicated for me to figure out.

OK, I said that I don't know the British / American rules
Your level is very good and you can forget other comments.
