Chess board [message #1760377]

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a graphical representation for a chess game. The idea is to build the board using 'Square' as a container for the pieces and used bordered nodes to join the squares. Right now, I'm facing that I cannot reuse the class 'Square' (Container) as a bordered node. In this manner, I would like to know if exist any way of doing this? or maybe exist other way to do it. Any hint would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Anthony

I did for fun a Connect Four game with Sirius. So, I had also to deal with a Grid.
Do you want I share this with you to github ?

Hi,

I just try to set up a chess board using sirius, as an exercice. I used container region, horizontal and vertical, to set up the chess board on a diagram, and then a Style customization to set pieces black or white. Just for clarification, there is an underlying EMF model, with a chessBoard containg 8 lines, each line containing 8 Cells.

Hope this information can help you

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for your example, has been very useful and in fact I have been trying to reproduce it. It seems to me that the cells are not joined together. The cells are contained on the Line, but they may be scattered inside the Line, am I right?
I think that it would be very nice if in the diagram you can join the cells using, for example: Bordered Nodes. I have not seen in the odesign any clue of how you can define an element as a bordered node and at the same time be a container of elements. Did you know any way to do this?

Cheers,
Anthony

Hi,

Here is my code: https://github.com/ejuliot/PlayWithSirius
I used vertical and horizontal stacks to represent cells. And I used SVG image to improve the look and feel.
