He is constantly making new additions and updates.</p><p>Therefore the update system of the program has been changed internally, which will allow the eboards drivers to be updated independently of LucasChess updates. </p><p>For the user no special action is required, the process is, when the update command is given (automatic or manual), in case an eboard is configured in the program, first the version of the eboard drivers is checked and downloaded in case it is different, and then it is checked if there is any update of the program.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Chess Leagues</h3><p>New option for the confrontation between engines, whose novelty lies in the possibility to include the player himself as an opponent (more than one human opponent is allowed).</p><p>It takes the organisation of football leagues, dividing the opponents into divisions, and the game into seasons. </p><p>The current structure is rigid 3 divisions, 10 opponents per division and 18 rounds in each season, in the future I might consider generalizing the number of opponents and divisions.</p><p>The process is simple, first create a league, with some parameters and opponents, 30 between humans and engines, and then play it, round by round.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Lucas Mongehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04929193139136561553noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-57579875869564382021-07-01T16:31:00.021+02:002023-11-01T21:13:12.823+01:00LINUX: tutorial for creating the installer on almost any distribution (updated 11/2023)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The aim of this article is to show step-by-step how to generate the installer from any Linux distribution that supports Qt5 and python3.8.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The steps are:</span></p>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a long-demanded option, the list of people who have requested it from me is too large to include here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The working mode is similar to that of Lichess, if it is a square selected a circle is shown, if they are several squares an arrow is shown, by default. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It can be customized from the Director option, each element of the band is associated to a key (None, Alt, Shift, Ctrl) pressed at same time right mouse.</span><br />
