I'll update the svg occasionally, lightburn doesn't work at home (on linux).

It doesn't really matter if there are extra spare parts, the main thing is that the game is complete.

I updated the 3d image.

I take it that's the program you use for making the SVG?

Also, while I was uploading the Jocly files to the CVP site, I took the opportunity to make the rule description for the Jocly Chu Seireigi preset more accurate. Your version has some discrepancies and doesn't describe everything, thought to be fair I was still finalizing everything then. I can provide you with the files you need if need be.

I did the same for the Seireigi and Hectochess rule descriptions to a far lesser extent, though I am not overly concerned about these two.

the svg has been exported from lightburn( software used to pilot the laser cutting machine).

The SVG could probably be edited also by inkscape I suppose. If you have any improvements to the rules, I'd be happy to incorporate them, as they're important for introducing people to the games.

I saw that you copied the updated rules descriptions from the CVP Jocly presets, which is good. I made some fixes to these to improve clarity and remove a few typos I found. I will admit in advance that I am kind of a stickler for consistency, but if you can make those changes that would be great.

For Hectochess and Seireigi you can simply copy the code from the CVP rules files. The only thing you might have to fix is the Lance graph path in the Seireigi file.

For Chu Seireigi the rules description on the biscandine site is much better, but there are still a few discrepancies, and a few pieces are listed twice for some reason. I'd recommend simply copying the source code from the CVP Rules description to fix the text, and copying over the pictures whose links I have attached below.

Here is the lightburn project if usefull to you

@François Houdebert,

While I was on the biscandine site, I noticed a few errors in your rule descriptions, as well as an error in the Tori Shogi Jocly implementation.

In the Tori Shogi Jocly implementation, Player A's Left Quail has its movement mirrored from what it should be.

I have attached the corrected images for the movement diagrams below. I also removed the extraneous black lines from the Mini-shogi setup image.

Thanks.

I've taken the comment into account, which will improve the doc.

thanks

taken into consideration

I saw that you copied over everything, which is good. However, an unfortunate side effect of this is that the Prancing Stag diagram in Chu Seireigi's rules description is that of the Shogi Flying Stag.

To fix this, you will need to copy the image below to the biscandine site without renaming it, and then update the HTML in the Chu Seireigi rules description (You can simply copy the HTML from the CVP file, which you can find here).

I made the change.

I wondered whether I should try to draw a different sprite because the movement is different from the flying stag.
I gave it a try, and we can change for it if you like, or try to do it better...

very nice Stag

Thanks. Your stag looks nice.

I think it would look fine either way, as long as the symbols used are consistent (As you have probably guessed at this point, I am a bit of a stickler for cosistency). This is more of a matter of personal taste.

The only thing I'll say is maybe giving the black stag image a black border rather than a white one will make it look a bit better. The white border may make it look out of place compared to the rest of the pieces, at least to me.

I'm going to keep the old one, I'm not sure I'll be able to change the black stag properly. These images may be useful one day for something else.

@H. G. Muller,

I added some 2D Kanji Shogi sprites from Francois's biscandine site in case you want to add that option in the Shogi Jocly preset.

Has something gone wrong with the Jocly code? I have tried multiple Jocly pages today without any of them working.
