Hello Dear Community
It has been some time since our last update and we are excited to announce version 0.31. In this version, we have added online gameplay as well as Linux support.
Though at the moment we only support ubuntu distros, others will soon follow and if you happen to experience a problem, head to the discussions forum here and ask for help;
Chessia Discussions
Also, since our playerbase is small, you may not always find other players to play online with. Hence we have added the "invite friend" option so that you can invite your friends to your online lobby and play together.
Here is what this update contains;
* Added Linux platform
* Added Online gameplay
* Some improvements to networking code has been made
* Multiplayer UI has been reworked
* Made it so that PGN game list is being updated each time it is showed
* Player name is no longer set by player and instead received from Steam
* Fixed a bug about failure to detect check when another piece other than the one played has its direction towards enemy king opened
* Fixed a bug with chess engine options being saved
* Fixed issues regarding chat window
* Fixed a bug with chess engine options not being shown properly
* Fixed a bug with spin box that failed to show user value
* Fixed some multiplayer related button functionality bugs
* Fixed some multiplayer related bugs
* Made sure chess pieces are found properly in multiplayer games
* Made the game start fullscreen by default
* Shadow related options has been removed as they are no longer needed
* Small UI improvements here and there
* Small adjustments made with visuals to improve distinction between pieces
With this, we are very close to release with little things to fix and add.
Until next time, have fun and take care.
