Game Overview
This is a game where you can connect to your friends and play Chess.
It is multiplayer only.
It does include moves such as en passent and castling.

Multiplayer Note
When you are connecting to a game behind the same router as yours, you will need to use the Local IP address, but if you are connecting to a game outside your router, you will need to use the Public IP address and may need to set up port forwarding.
For information on Port Forwarding go to:

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=79904
(I'm not sure but instead of "GameMaker" as the name as described in there, you might need to use "Game Maker")

Controls
Press F2 at anytime in game to vote for a restart
Press escape to end game/go back
Press enter to select main menu things
Use your mouse to select pawn promotions in the popup screen

***EXTRACT THE GAME FIRST***
The dll's are created when you open it for the first time.
The game may look frozen at times, but that is because mplay is uber slow.

My router is teh suck, I can't play with anyone so there :(

Also, if you are a loner and have no one to play with, play with yourself! Run two instances of the game, host on one and join at 127.0.0.1 on the other :D

Sweet, couple of things tho:
cant really see whatever that icon is in the bottom right corner caus it doesn't contrast enough with the background, you have to use task manager to quit the game. There wern't any dlls in the zip... Also, casshern hasn't downloaded it caus the downloads were 0 when i came to this page... oh and im giving it 10/10 even though I didn't manage to play,

@ Bozebo: you need to extract, the dll's are created when you open the game. Use escape to exit, it may look like it is frozen, but that's because mplay is slow :( just wait a bit.
The icon at the bottom is a mute/unmute, it's easier to see in game, and that is where you would actually use it. Casshern is one of my friends and has already seen the game. Thanks for the 10 :D.

I originally started it in mplay, and then I tried to make it work with EasySock, but the way I had done it in mplay was not compatible with EasySock, so I stuck to mplay.

[sarcasm]I know, this dude's so horrible. You were definitley the first person to come up with the idea of online chess.[/sarcasm]

Theordore III, keep expanding this. I don't do multiplayer with my setup, but I think this has great potential. Though not the most original idea, you should add features to make it stand out as a chess game (customized sets, add-ons, single player, etc.). Good luck on the project.

This is the internet, not much is original anymore, and its not like I'm the very first person to make an online chess game. No one would think you're a ripoff artist unless you blatantly copied it... I think you're being a bit harsh there and I have no problems about you making one.

You make it sound like single player is easy :P
I don't think I will be adding too much on to this but you never know :D. I might do the customized sets thing, that sounds cool.
Also, what sorts of "add-ons" are you thinking of?

Thanks for the (mostly) positive comments guys :D

Are you guys retards too? .......the point is, it hasn't been done with GM, to my knowledge, and not on 64D for sure. I thought it would be cool to make one, so I started one. I think I would know it's not original...and it's not with you having problems with me making them, but I know how people are, and they call other people "copiers" of others. Once me and my friend made a game together, and I posted on my account first, but then changed it to his. But people already saw the game up on 64D, and because of that they rated him lower than me because they thought he stole it or something.

At least my progress on the game helped me teach me about GM over the internet.

Thats cause it was the same game, it wouldn't happen if it was one you made and released after people seeing my one.

this is really bad. It stops you from moving to an possible place to be killed on =0. you will get minus for that


wtf are you on about, it only does that for the king, because kings aren't allowed to get into check

what did you rate? 1? 3 tens, then your vote, and it goes to 7?
I'm deleting your comment for downrating like that >:(
