AXECHESS - The First Chess made in Axe

[pimathbrainiac]

So basically, I have used another part of the forum to get help, but I think i will do the rest of the posting here.

Thanks to all those who are helping and will help

This is AXECHESS:



The SRC, the App, the Readme, and the Screenshot are attached.

AXECHESS needs help with AI, move checks, en passant, and promotion.

help with code will be rewarded.

One suggestion i have would be to XOR your cursor instead of ORing/replacing whatever's there, that way you can still see what piece you have selected. I'm not very good at chess, though

chicken: If you look good at the screenie you can see that the selected piece is in the upper left corner. And may I know why this needs to be an app? (I think it's not over 8811 bytes?)

[pimathbrainiac]

It's an app b/c originally, it was too big to be a prog.

Yeah, but only AFTER you've selected it. You could also use that side are to show a more detailed (read: larger) sprite of the piece you've selected. I'm not sure what all of those terms mean, but are pieces restricted to squares they are allowed to go to? ie the bishop can only move diagonally, the pawns can only move forward unless they are attacking, etc.

What exactly is it you need help with? I can't help with AI as i really suck at chess, someone from the TI-CT like Lionel or thepenguin77 who wrote an asm version might be able to help, but i can maybe help explain how to do some of the other things.

HUGE EDIT: (complete post revamp to be exact)
Okay as for AI, thepenguin77 has a position evaluation formula in the readme of his chess game, which you  could use for your engine too.

This is impressive so far!

Can you link me to the file?

[squidgetx]

pimath, the ticalc.org link to it has been given to you at least twice in your other thread

Also I moved this thread to the Z80 projects subforum

[pimathbrainiac]

I see that now... *facepalm* I need to pay more attention

[Sorunome]

looking epic with the new screenshot!
Great work so far

[pimathbrainiac]

Thanks for positive stuff!

I love everyone's helpful attitude!

No worries.
And nice to see the screen not disappearing while you're picking a piece. Do you have any other plans besides adding in AI?

[pimathbrainiac]

rule checks, promotion, and en passant

[aeTIos]

you can move the pieces anywhere at the moment?
