Chicken Checkers Sign Up & Peanut Gallery

Gonzo · #1 10-27-2011, 05:36 PM

The Chicken Checkers Rule Book & Gameplay Guide is here.

Yes, this is directly inspired by the fact Mr. Narrans brought to my attention that we have a whole flock of chickens of various ethnic groups as well as a :kingchicken:

.

This is also part of my campaign to help Mr. Crumb fill the sub-forum so grandiosely titled The Colosseum with as much pass time entertainment value as possible for all citizens and future generations of the :ff:

.

So if you are interested in playing - sign up here.

If you get to be King, I want to be The Court Jester.

I had a go at a chess board with smilies a while back - but I didn't think of using chickens.

Anyone up for a game? :look:

MonCapitan2002 · #8 11-04-2011, 03:22 PM

What the heck. I'd be willing to give it a try.

Gonzo · #9 11-04-2011, 09:35 PM

Cool! I'll start a game thread.

MonCapitan2002 · #10 11-05-2011, 05:08 PM

Just so you know, I made my first move.

Gonzo · #11 11-05-2011, 05:57 PM

I promise I won't be making any cock block jokes... in the game thread.

I figured you needed one of these: :bkingchicken:

Gonzo · #13 11-14-2011, 08:57 AM

It's perfect!

Agreed. Not that it'll be needed for this game. I didn't realize just how rusty and badly outmatched I was before playing the current game. Hopefully I'll be able to provide a better accounting for myself in the next match.

Gonzo · #16 11-15-2011, 05:58 AM

Up for another one?

Anyone else want to play?

MonCapitan2002 · #17 11-15-2011, 07:15 AM

I'll take another crack at it if no one else signs up within a week. Also, Gonzo, if you like playing board games online or through forums, I would suggest you join up with Yucata.de. Crumb posted a thread about the site on this forum.

I think you'll like some of the games there.

Crumb · #18 11-15-2011, 07:19 PM

Come and play with us, Gonzo.

If you'd like to keep the board squarer and more regular, I suggest shortening the title bar and putting the players' names at the top and bottom.

A king chicken is 23 pixels wide, so if you add a row to the table with 8 graphics that are all that width, then it forces the grid to a regular shape, even if some of the columns happen to be otherwise empty. I did this in the example below by using the [pad]23[/pad] tags.

Lastly, I would suggest creating a graphic for the X that is 23 pixels wide, with the X (or other symbol) centred up within the square. I've not done that here though.

Nice formatting, Ceptimus.

MonCapitan2002 · #21 11-23-2011, 08:10 AM

Gonzo, I've recovered from the pain of the humiliating defeat you handed to me in the last game. I'm eager for a chance to prove myself a worthy opponent if you're willing to play another game.

Gonzo · #22 11-23-2011, 12:45 PM

I'll set it up.

Gonzo · #23 06-30-2015, 12:23 PM

anyone want to play a game of this with me? :bump:

Gonzo · #24 06-30-2015, 12:23 PM

Here is the game thread for an example of gameplay.
