whither Chess?

Apols for a post that is only marginally on topic, this list seemed the best fit.

From an earlier experience with Squeak I recall that there was a quite decent (to me) version of chess in the Game package.

However I cant find it in my current image (5.2) - I triesSqueakMap, but searching for chess or games produced no result; I couldn't locate a sar or change set for it on the web

Could anyone point me to it, either to an archive file, or categories to search under on SqueakMap.

thanks

David

Re: whither Chess?

Hi

- Use the world menu -> flaps
- Choose menu 'show shared flaps'
- drag out the red objects tab
- choose category 'games'
- drag out the chess board

Regards
Hannes

Hi,

for me it doesn't work from a 64 bit image updated just now (no games entry in the flap) but it works and worked before the update if I use the world menu --> objects and then choose games.

Cheers,

Herbert

In reply to this post by Hannes Hirzel

Many thanks! really helpful!; I'd forgotten about the flaps (I rarely used them so had disabled I think). Not clear though how I missed finding the classes in Browser ( mea culpa),

But I've found it now both ways - some issues at runtime with a message failure on FormCanvas>> setFillColor, but

now I'm in that should be soluable via the tools.

regards

David
