Incorporate into HexGui?

Open Twixtfanatic opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Thank you for fixing up the mess the Benzene project was in. I was able to build under Linux Mint 19 with no difficulties.

Do you have any plan to incorporate MoHex into a gui such as Broderick Arneson's HexGui? I believe that was once part of Benzene. Here is a link to a screenshot.

Thanks for your time.

yes, HexGUI supports MoHex, but seems you don't know how to load MoHex from HexGUI.

I can write a section in the README on how to use benzene with HexGUI.

That would help, thank you. Maybe I should put them in the same directory?

BTW do you like the board display with triangles?

I have updated the document, please refer to "HexGUI" section for how to connect your program to HexGUI.

In your screenshot, displaying with triangle looks nice.

Thanks very much! I was able to download with git clone, but I ran into some difficulty trying to follow your instructions after that. Attached is a transcript of the session. So, instead I used the modified jar file I already had.

I played just one game so far, default settings, and Mohex came very close to beating me. I will experiment with different settings.

Unfortunately I no longer have the source code for my "Go style" board view modification. I attach the jar file. I changed the extension just to be able to attach it. Maybe you can reverse compile it? Or has this mod already been incorporated?

echo "PATH=PATH:pwd/hexgui" >> ~/.bashrc

I forget to append /hexgui...

Anyway, you should be able to run the executable hexgui/bin/hexgui directly, right?

HexGUI supports go-style board already..
