Actions

Meta: Stop the bleeding by tearing off the other sleeve of my suit and using that.

(...) You somehow manage to wrap up your arm with the sleeve of your jumpsuit. You successfully stop the bleeding, but the pain is blinding.

Meta: Back to plan A! SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD!

(...) You misfire and send sparks flying off the wall!

RW: STRIFE! @ SNAKE!

MC: Go for the optics!

(...) You begin foaming at the mouth and knock Monk unconscious with the rod! You then infuse the rod with more NERD RAEG and send it flying around the room!

Dodge The RAEG!

• Xenocalamus: (...) The rod slices Xenocalamus in half, and it falls to the floor!
• Frelock: (...) The glowing blade of energy passes by below as you hide above!
• monk12: The rod passes over you harmlessly in your incapacitated state.
• HighEndNoob: (...)As you hobble aimlessly, the rod flies by and removes both your legs at the knees!
• _DivideByZero_: (...) The rod flies directly at you, but you leap into the air with the lower half of Xenocalamus attached to your leg!
• MC: (...) The spinning rod slices off two of the mecha-spider mecha-cpider's legs and it falls to the floor!

Meta: "NOOOOOOOOO! DIEDIEDIE!" Jump onto the back of the boss and slash it's head off with the mop.

(...) You begin shrieking and running around, your flesh burning as you swing your mop wildly! You can't even see what you're doing. Wait... you're a hideously disfigured guy with burnt skin carrying around a mop... where have I seen something like this before? Suddenly, something flies by and lops off both your legs at the knees! AAAAGGGGGHHHH

Meta: Hide for a turn, and tweak the odds.

(...) You leap into the air and hide inside the safe, dark tunnel in the ceiling that Xenocalamus fell out of.

HISSSSSSSSS

The upper half of Xenocalamus starts squirming toward (...) Kyle, and bites at him! (...) It picks up Kyle in its jaws, shaking him around violently and tearing the flesh on his back and stomach!

**LOTS OF IMAGES**

Spoiler: I have this many invaders left to kill (click to show/hide)

**BIG IMAGE (4x4 embark)**

Spoiler: After killing thiiiiiiiis many. (click to show/hide)

Almost all that blood is fresh.

When you've finally learned everything there is to learn about Dwarf Fortress and think you've mastered it, what do you do? YOU INSTALL THE MATRIX TILESET AND START OVER, BITCH.

BUG: The wrong color starts the game. White (the side with the queen on a white tile, default Red Player 2) should start.

Yeah, I noticed that. I can just switch it around for next release.

BUG: A king's side castle currently moves the rook a space too far.

Was that on player 1's side, or player 2?

I'd throw in a unique text for en passant, just so folks who aren't aware of the rule know what just happened.

There's a rather large bug I found while trying to add this, so I'll have it soon.

It'd be nice if there was a warning for when a king is put in check.

The game doesn't recognize check, checkmate, or stalemate as per standard chess rules yet. I'm working on adding it in, but right now the only game-ending condition is when the King is actually captured.

BUG: Just moved a knight onto the kings space, and before victory was declared the game allowed me to promote the unit as though it were a pawn.

Fixed, see below.

^RELATED: Just moved a knight onto the opponents king space (no king present) and was offered a chance to promote. I declined, and next turn moved a pawn forward a space (Bishop 4) and was offered teh chance to promote the random pawn. After further testing, it appears that selecting the pawn on the opposite side of the board, deselecting it, and then moving any other pawn offers a chance for the second pawn to be promoted.

I think the below bugfix solved this too.

^RELATED?: As red, moved the rightmost rook left one space to take a blue rook. Was offered chance to promote.

I fixed that bug a while back... but it turns out I only fixed it for player 1. It's fixed for both now.

BUG: Any piece on a kings starting position gives text allowing the option to castle. Was not able to castle in limited testing.

Fixed! Yes, the message prompting you to castle is separate from the ability to castle. So you can still only castle with the King selected.

It would be amusing if units wore more than one bishops hat if they killed multiple bishops. Perhaps having them wear a Pope Hat instead if they kill 2, and a Pope Hat on top of a bishops hat if they kill 3 would be an interesting Easter Egg.

That's a good idea...

It appears my wish shall be granted.

It was the RNG, I swear!

Here, have some rules on Castling.

Because I've made a move which the game said was Castling, but I know it to be an illegal move.

I'll never get my info on any subject from not-Wikipedia again. Could have sworn it was one space, not two... I'll fix that for the next release.

You know what the error was? My program literally divided by zero. Also, that's not how castling works. The King only moves one square left or right.

And if you only want to move the king left or right instead of castling?

SHIFT castles, ENTER just moves the selected piece like any other move.

"C:\Users\Owner\Games\Video Games\asciichess v1.1.01b\ASCII Chess\MSVCR100.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact" etc etc.

Immediately following that is the default Windows Error Message.

I'm running on Vista

*Standard "Well there's you problem" Joke About Vista Here*

Windows Vista comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. I put that .dll in there for XP, so it's for 32-bit. I'm guessing you're running the 64-bit version. Try deleting it and installing this.

EDIT:
Version 1.1.02

• Fixed Castling Bug
• *Probably* Fixed .dll issue on some operating systems

If this works, there will be a massive cake with your name on it.

EDIT: Alas, no cake for you. When I ran the .exe, my computer stopped responding to anything (I'm using Windows XP as my OS)

Any error message?

Try downloading this and installing it.

No, it just freezes up. Ah well, let's see if the download makes any difference...

I just tried the program on an XP with no problems. I'm not sure where that error is coming from. You might as well download the new version instead of that download in that link. The new version includes that library in the download. Speaking of which...

Version 1.1b

• Bugfixes
• Screenshots! During a game press F1 to export the whole screen, F2 to export the board and captured pieces area, and F3 to export the board without the captured pieces.
• You can choose whether you want to see the randomized combat text in the settings.
• msvcr.dll is included in the download, so you don't need to install the redistributable.
• The version number on the title screen still says 1.0b! Crap.
