ah

#

there's your problem

#

you used chatgpt

forest spade Jul 31, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

not initially. used it to try and solve the problem. realized its still a little slow

patent glade Jul 31, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

little is putting it nicely heh

forest spade Jul 31, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

a combination of me not knowing a ton of cpp and coming from the realms of python + chatGPT screwing my code... meh

Have you considered using bitboards?

#

they are all powerful

#

and will save you

forest spade Jul 31, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

yes my initial plan was to implement a basic design. make a functional game. then implement improvements such as that

patent glade Jul 31, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

well

#

bitboards kinda dictate how you design stuff

#

you can't just "swap" them in whenever you want

#

(as much as I wish you could...)

#

well. let me go ahead and do that and let's see wtf happens

#

you know. if python wasnt so slow...

First I think the issue will be somewhere with board and screen positions not being the same thing thats a big 🚩

Kivi is typing, prepare

#

( he won't suggest modules 100%)

                else {
                    selectedPiece->setPosition(sf::Vector2f(selectedPiece->getBoardPosition().x * 100, selectedPiece->getBoardPosition().y * 100));
                }

Check this thing on line 178 looks kinda wrong and would look like the thing you showed

Go and fix my issue dont bully me here 😭

forest spade well. let me go ahead and do that and let's see wtf happens

Check the if/else block starting on line 97 and I think the end of that is what is causing the sympom but the real problem is that board and screen positions are completely independent
