ButtFish V1.05 - Tata: Balls of Steel Edition

• Implemented better error handling and error recovery - So when engine crashes, you don't have to restart the program, it will recover itself.

• Added RGB to Yeelight device to fix this issue - Now uses green for short pulses, and red to long pulses to make it easier to see which pulse is send

• Added device multicasting to send moves to multiple devices at once - Instead of selecting 1 device, you can now select an array of devices you want to broadcast to, and send the input to a batch of devices

• Implemented manual mode - A mode that skips using a chess engine all together, and lets you use your own manual input. Allows you to use a standalone engine, or a Chess.com bot and manually copy the moves

• Upgraded buttplug.io library to V3.0.0

• Compiled Buttfish so it also works on Linux (Tested on Kali linux) (Note: Windows might work better, was not able to test everything)

• Tested everything more extensively to ensure nothing can go wrong while actually using this, to ensure success during the use of a live match.

ButtFish V1.04 - Inverted Black

• Fixed the Custom board ascii so when you're playing as black the board is inverted and looks the same as chess.com boards

ButtFish V1.03 - Deep Brown

• Custom board ascii independent from engine
• Added option for custom time unit, to enable longer or shorter pulses
• Upgrade to dotnet 7
• Minor fixes

ButtFish V1.02 - Hikaru Expert Mode

By just knowing the end position, a serious chess player would know intuitively which piece belongs there. ~ Hikaru

appsettings.json now has a config flag EndPositionOnly - if you set this to true, you will only transmit/receive the end place.

For example, in the demo Stockfish returns e5f4 - in EndPositionOnly mode, only f4 will be transmitted.

• Added Simplified Encoder:
  • 1 = .
  • 2 = ..
  • 3 = ...
  • 4 = -
  • 5 = -.
  • 6 = -..
  • 7 = -...
  • 8 = --
  • A thought H have same pattern as 1 though 8
• Added minor fixes, information where to download stockfish when missing
