Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

Ran out of attachments in the last post, so here are the tiles. Ignore the purple splodges, they are just there to foil gconvert's duplicate detection.
Also, the hex file of the test program, should anyone like to try it.

Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

The pieces looks awesome. One minor thing I'm not sure how it will look on a TV, but I'd increase the edge contrast on the white or white pieces as they sort of look like they are faded out. Thanks! You were right about the contrast - I adapted the outlines of the white on black pieces and white on...

Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

I went ahead and did both colours on both, well, colours. Looking at the original tile set, I don't think it's possible to maintain the exact same order with these graphics. All pieces are now 3x3 tiles, for example, whilst it looks like the original set had some blanks. The bottom three tiles of al...

Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

OK chaps, here's what I came up with for 6x8 so far. I didn't change them that much from the 8x8 version, so they just kinda look a little fatter. This image has been stretched horizontally to roughly simulate what it would look like on screen. Let me know what you think as it's a bit of a PITA to a...

Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

your picture is very nice, definitely better than mine, only problem is, that I use 3x3 matrix of 6x8 pixel tiles, so your square size is too big on width. It could fit, if I remove game log in the right of screen and use 4x3 matrix, but another problem is, that kernel doesnt use square pixels (you...

Re: EUzebox - a SCART based Uzebox for the EU

Woohoo! Mine arrived today after ordering last week. Very nice little kit and only took about an hour to put together, the hardest thing being the SNES connectors which didn't want to sit straight. Everything worked first try, so here are some pics: euzebox1.jpg euzebox2.jpg About the manual REV A: ...

Re: Sounds and music for chess4uzebox

Hi, Nice to see your chess game coming along! If you like the look of these pieces, let me know and I'll see if I can finish the set. Should be plenty of tiles that can be reused as most of the pieces are of course pretty similar. Might even get away with reusing the centre square regardless of the ...
