📕 Description [en]

📕🐧"blabla"🐧📕


Lasca (or Laska) is a game similar to Draughts but with some really cool enhancements. You'll find a great description in the help system of Ascal. In the meantime the article on Wikipedia and on https://research.interface.co.uk/lasca/about.htm will help you understanding the rules. Ascal tries to give a great Gnome Version of Lasca for one and two players. You can undo moves, save and load games and all that on a nifty graphical board.

Ascal was programmed by 3 students for an ai-contest in the university course of C++ programming in summer 2006 at University of Goettingen, Germany. Their ai made the 4th place in a round of 9. At this time the backtracking was not functional... :)

If you still feel the need to try Ascal you'll first have to check for the standard Gnome libraries and their c++ bindings gtkmm and gnomecanvasmm.

One day there hopefully will be Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and RedHat packages as well as a Gentoo port.

Now the usual ./configure && make && su -c "make install" will build and install Ascal. You can start it after that with "ascal" on a xterm or with the starter from the menu.

📕 Description [fr]

Un jeu de Lasca, une variante du jeu de dames, par l'Ascal Team.

Ascal est un jeu de Lasca mono (IA) et multijoueur (2 en hotseat): c'est une variante du jeu de dames se jouant sur un plateau de 7x7 dont seules les positions jouables (en diagonales) sont représentées (25 cases au total).
Les pièces sont dénommées soldat jusqu'à ce qu'elles atteignent l'extrémité adverse où qu'elles deviennent officier (mêmes possibilités qu'une dame dans le jeu éponyme).
Lorsqu'une pièce adverse est capturée, elle n'est pas enlevée du plateau, elle est placée sous le pion, formant ainsi une colonne.
Une colonne passe sous le contrôle de la pièce qui l'a capturée (mêmes propriétés de mouvements et sauts).
Si elle est prise, seule la pièce du dessus est enlevée pour passer sous la colonne prenante.
Le jeu est remporté par un joueur lorsque son adversaire ne peut plus bouger, lorsqu'il a capturé toutes les pièces adverses ou lorsque son adversaire se rend.
