In case anyone's actually paying attention to this...
I've been trying to insert the Java applet for this game, but for some reason it just doesn't show here. This is the code the page gives me:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/membergraphics/MSinteractive-diagrams/betza.js?nocache=true"></script> <div class="idiagram"> files=8 ranks=8 promoZone=1 promoChoice=QERG graphicsDir=/graphics.dir/alfaeriePNG/ squareSize=50 graphicsType=png symmetry=none pawn:P:ifmnDfmWfceF:pawn:a2,b2,c2,d2,e2,f2,g2,h2,,a7,b7,c7,d7,e7,f7,g7,h7 queen:Q:Q:queen:d1,,d8 eagle:E:FyafsF:bird:a1,h1,,a8,h8 rhino:R:WyafsW:rhino:c1,f1,,c8,f8 gnu:G:NC:gnu:b1,g1,,b8,g8 king:K:KisO2:king:e1,,e8 </div>
(And yes, I do enter it with the editor in HTML mode.)
I see it, and it works; I tried pasting the HTML into HTML mode without switching back to my familiar WYSIWIG (which I'd been doing before), and that worked.
Many thanks for the help, H.G.
The submission form is a bit tricky. If you select WYSIWYG for format, you can still switch to 'source code' in the editor that appears, and edit the HTML. But if you ever would switch that editor out of source mode (and I think later edits would start it that way) you will lose all the HTML except for a very smal subset of tags that are known to the editor. (E.g. script elements, the id and class properties of all elements would all disappear.)
So always make sure the Format pull-down is set to HTML first time you submit the comment if you want to include an Interactive Diagram.
Yeah, I did finally figure that out. Thanks. :)
I've even managed to try a couple of games. They were fast and brutal, with me on the losing end in 10 turns or fewer; but then, I think a standard chess game would probably come out the same. (I'm very rusty.) I'd love to hear from anyone else choosing to give it a try.
(The computer's opening gambit of choice seems to be releasing the King's Rhino into the Queen's side and letting it wreak havoc. I'm thinking of swapping its position with the Eagle.)
Interesting variant, definitely looks wild and very dynamic.
Thank you! (Even though the AI whallops me every time I try to play....) :)

I've switched up the beast pieces a couple of times to make sure things work right, but I think this is ready for the Index now.
