OK, fine, then. Now Post-Move 1 is:

gosub HandleMove false;

if == k #victim:

  set brd $space;

  set p search pr #brd;

  add k #p;

endif;

if == q #victim:

  set brd $space;

  set p search pc #brd;

  add q #p;

endif;

if == q #vic2:

  set brd $space;

  set p search pr #brd;

  add k #p;

endif;

While Post-Move 2 is:

gosub HandleMove true;

if == K #victim:

  set brd $space;

  set p search PR #brd;

  add K #p;

endif;

if == Q #victim:

  set brd $space;

  set p search PC #brd;

  add Q #p;

endif;

if == Q #vic2:

  set brd $space;

  set p search PC #brd;

  add Q #p;

endif;

If I got that part right (I felt that vic2 was a better mnemonic than v2; in any event, I feel like I misread something), all that's left to worry about right now is the really hard part: the Helepolis.

I still had the Helepolis on the old RcamfRidaufmRsb(caf)14R move code when I built the initial GAME code; I hope I don't need to fix that and regenerate the code when I turn to that part (though it's probably not a huge problem if I do). If there's a simpler way to go about it, I'll take it!

Then I can start poking around with Inkscape, Paint, and/or GIMP to see if anything decent comes out, in between developing text.
