[T3] Chess - Online

Posted by Theodore III on April 19, 2007, 3:16 p.m.

Hello everyone

I have not blogged for quite some time now, but since I am making a new game, I thought I would tell you all about it!

Also I will give some information on the progress of Entity, my RPG (See previous blogs)

Chess - Online

This is my new game, so far, all the pieces can preform all their moves, including en passent and castling, except for the promotion of a pawn to a bishop, rook or queen.

Edit: Current thing working on

You play against and chat to other opponents via TCP/IP, and there is not a single player mode.

Edit: Working on a single player mode, hopefully I will achieve it XD

I still need to make check and checkmate though XD.

Edit: Made check, but not checkmate

Picture

Green squares are possible moves,

The blue square is the last piece moved by the enemy.

Entity

Entity has come a LONG way since my last blog

A list of most of the changes are as follows:

-Added smexy a Window Skin

-Created an Escape Menu (Resume,Save,Load,Exit)

-Created items in the inventory with equipping/using/dropping/viewing

-Created selected weapon GUI

-Created item pick up/drop off

-Created Settings system using ini files

-Added FPS counter option

-Added in all sorts of sound effects :D

-Created Sneak system (Useless atm but still there)

-Created new weapons (Spear, Axe)

There are probably many other changes, but i can't think of them :(.

Thanks for reading

Cool, cool. Check / Checkmate shouldn't be too hard to add.

Your chess game looks good. Chess AI is very hard to make. Good luck on it.

Not that that is really a vital part of the game…

including en passent
Awesome, I'm not the only person who knows that move. Usually when I try and do it people claim I made it up on the spot and that I'm cheating.

I brought along a chess rule book to a game and did the move, then showed them it was legal XD. Then they used it on me in the next game :P.

I could make a chess AI in a day.

I would have liked to make Chess AI, but I don't feel like I could do it very well, so I made it online instead.

Make a chess game, ChIkEn, or at least an example. I'd like to see it.
