Spartan Chess Preset Request 
long  version


I have just begun reading about how to create a preset and intend to create
robust one for Spartan Chess. Joe Joyce has already developed a
non-rules-enforcing preset for Spartan Chess and we are new playing a
game.

So I have the following steps in mind.

Step 1:  Have Joe Joyce walk me through what he has already done for
Spartan Chess (which he has agreed to do).

Step 2:  Create one or more new graphics including that for the
Lieutenant.

Step 3: Upload the Graphics and create or extend and existing piece set.

Step 4: Enter rules so that the game of Spartan Chess plays properly.


I think I pretty much have to do it all; create a custom piece or two,
create or extend piece set and write a set of rules for the game of Spartan
Chess. I imagine that for #4 the place to start would be with the Set of
rules for Western set and then modify them to enforce Spartan rules for the
Black side.

I imagine that it will be a good deal of work with a steep learning curve
for me. 

Is there anyone out there who as some experience with creating a preset who
might be able to give me some assistance?
