GAME code table-driven move generator[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Some questions about Game Courier:

  • Can 'include' files for GAME code be put anywhere on the server, by giving thier path name in the include statement, or must they be in a specific directory? It would be convenient to have all the CV-independent code in an included file, but this file will no doubt need some maintenance, so it would be a problem if it was in a place where I could not update it. So I was hoping it could be put in one of the /membergraphics/MS* directories where I can upload it, similar to the betza.js script.
  • Is there a more user-friendly way to enter composit moves than typing, in GAME courier? It appears that the move is sent to the server as soon as you click the destination square, so if you want there to be stuff after it, you cannot even use the mouse for indicating the destination. Is there a way to suppress immediate sending of the move on the second click (e.g. by requesting this through the $legalmoves array), so there is opportunity to append something by typing first? (And if there isn't, shouldn't we try to make one?)
