Web interface for Scan. Congratulations Sidiki! I am glad to hear it works for you on a Windows computer. Indeed, it is possible to upload scan (and websocketd) on a server and play without your physical computer. In the section "Engine control" of the web interface fill the host item with the name...

Web interface for Scan. I have created a web interface to play draughts against an engine that supports the hub protocol. Practically speaking, it means you can use your web browser to play against the Scan engine of Fabien Letouzey. I expect it is platform independent so you can use it with Window...

The bridge server is not dependent of the used protocol. You can connect a draughts server that uses the Hub protocol with a webclient that uses the Hub protocol. But you have to build your own Hub webclient. The webclient I created was only meant to illustrate how to build such a client using the d...

Play draughts in your webbrowser against a draughts engine I have created a simple user interface for 10x10 draughts that runs in the browser. You can play a game against yourself or against a draughts engine. Playing draughts in the browser has a number of advantages. The advantages of a user inte...

Linux DamExchange client for MobyDam You work on a Linux platform. You need an application to play draughts against MobyDam (or any other draughts server). You are used to work with a command line interface. Maybe you like to use my DamExchange client for 10x10 International Draughts. I created thi...

The problem with sending messages from Python client to MobyDam is solved by:
sock.send('CHello world' + '\00')
Indeed a null chacter is missing!

Thank you very much Ed.

Python TCP/IP socket client cannot send messages to MobyDam. I have successfully installed MobyDam on a Linux Mint system. I tested successfully a connection with Dam 2.2 and play a game. Now I like to make a connection from a Python TCP/IP socket client program with MobyDam. The Python client make...

I fix the problem with the compile error on my Linux Mint system. The compiler gives an error at: #include <sys/time.h> (not found) Clearly a lot of files were missing. The problem is solved by installing the package build-essential . Now it compiles mobydam with no errors and I could start it succe...

I have checked it.
linux-libc-devel Installed version 4.4.0-62.83

I try to compile mobydam with Linux Mint. I get an error: ============================================== arthur@pluto ~/mobydam/main $ make gcc -g -O3 -Wall -mpopcnt -flto -DPF -DETC -DLMR -DKIL -DCUT -DCFLAGS="-g -O3 -Wall -mpopcnt -flto -DPF -DETC -DLMR -DKIL -DCUT" -c dxp.c In file included from ...

Subject: Moby Dam as WebSockets server. I think instead of CGI pipes you can use the Websockets daemon as described at http://websocketd.com/ This program turns any program (written in whatever language) that uses STDIN/STDOUT into a WebSocket server. For this to work, Moby Dam has to be changed to ...

Harm,

Just a question that I would like an answer.

WebSockets represent a big step in the evolution of the internet.

Can Moby Dam run as a WebSocket server?

If not, do you plan to facilitate this change by the opensource-community?

Update Draughts Diagram Maker . I extended the color themes for the diagram maker with another row. It gives more opportunities to choose your favourite colors for the board image. Remember: available colors of the last three rows are dependent on the choice you made in the first two rows. This giv...

I have updated the online Draughts Diagram Maker for 10x10 and 8x8 boards. The diagram maker allows you to compose the layout of a board with pieces and make an image of the board. The color scheme is reorganized. With four rows of ten color themes, you can choose from 400 (!) color themes. How is t...

Again I released a new version of the Draughts Diagram Maker. I was not satisfied with the way a new theme can be chosen. So I decided to make a new layout where the themes are visually recognizable. Hopefully, this makes finding a particular theme easier (perceived as a problem by Maurits). Arthur ...
