Chu Shogi Applet
While I was compiling tsumeshogis and their solutions for a Chu Shogi app of some kind, I stumbled upon a Japanese applet known as the DHTML Chu Shogi Board, an HTML applet that let you view Chu Shogi games, which has been used extensively for recording tsumeshogis online. It still works remarkably well today, but it is quite cumbersone to use, since as far as I know, you needed to set up arrays yourself for at least the board and the move list for it to work properly. So I decided to make my app an improved version of the DHTML Chu Shogi Board which fixes that and adds a host of new features, such as enforcement for most rules of the game, support for Lishogi-like SFEN (both getting it from the board position and setting a new position using it), a whole suite of styling options, and seven graphics options instead of one.
Embedding the Chu Shogi Applet in an HTML document is as simple as including a pair of tags which define the applet and point to the core .js file, like so:
<div id="chuShogiApplet"><div><script src="https://www.chessvariants.com/membergraphics/MSchu-shogi-applet/chuShogiAppletSrc.js?nocache=true"></script>
The Applet also comes with many different settings that can be adjusted using an additional <script>...</script> tag, discussed in the Advanced Help section.
