Classical Chessboard with coordonates

What are the points of this:

You can use the grid in the screenshot to create your game (sudoku, 2048, chessboard, tic-tac-toe, etc...). You use it to put textures, pictures on it. You know the witdh and the heigth, you can use it to detect the clic of your mouse by your program.

you can use the data to know the square for collisions.

Installation :

1. You create a directory in windows.
2. put the raylib.dll and echiquier.exe files in this directory.
3. Create in the main directory, a second one with the name "gui_styles"
4. in the last directory, put all files from the amber directory. (If you miss this step, it s not important, the gui takes the standard one)
5. That s all folks !

The saved grids and screenshots will be in the main directory with the names screenshot_xxx.png and echiquier_xxx.csv. XXX are the same number.

Technically and new compilation :

Use Lazarus and free Pascal, you must have the headers of raylib and raygui to compile. Headers from Guvacode (Thanks to him) You load the file.lpr and you play with the code. The application are in a window of SCREEN_WIDTH = 1680; SCREEN_HEIGHT = 1050;
