Dear friends,

I discovered an ancient game of the old Slavs called "Posunčík". I gave it a new name, Logaterix.

The game is said to be several hundred years old and was played on the ground or on a wooden board, using simply stones of two shades.

I programmed the game for PC/online so you can play it yourself, either against the AI or another human opponent.

I believe you will enjoy it too! I will be glad for feedback as well! Thank you in advance!

Enjoy!

what are the rules for pushing kings? Do they weigh more?

Thank you for your response!

The king behaves in the same way as other stones, only it has limited movement, it can only move right, left, up, down (i.e. orthogonally). In other words: it cannot go diagonally.

If it is somewhere in the middle of the row, it can of course be pushed like a normal stone. But he cannot push himself diagonally.

I hope I explained it correctly, it's actually very simple

Král je mrtev - ať žije král!
The King is dead - long live the King!

Cool game in its simplicity. Everything ran smoothly, so I guess good job coding it.

Only issue I had was in the beginning, with the pushing itself. It almost made me ask the same question as michaelplzno. Turned out the issue is about input - it seems that while you usually can simply click enemy tokens to push in that direction, that somehow does not work when the king is involved (or so it seeemed to me). Clicking outside the board in that direction worked every time though.

Besides that, no issues. Oh and I also like how the gems look like.

Nice job.

Coby kolegy Čecha se musím zeptat na Posunčík. Hned jsem se vydal ten název hledat, ale google nemá nic zaindexováno (kromě stránek s Tvojí hrou, samozřejmě). Kde jsi ten název, a vlastně celou hru, našel? Zajímá to jak mě, tak i mého bratra, učitele češtiny, pro kterého je staročeština tak trochu koníček. Zajímavý objev každopádně!
