2P Chess – search for turn

To my surprise, I take as idea chess videogame. Simple, because of without artificial intelligence. So this is everything for two players. Players makes turns after each other. But chess rules are taken into account.

With surprise, -  I am not big in chess and similar games, so  if run into that it is hard. Maximum, what I remember, is how figures make steps. So this is it.

So, first, that chess are very complex game. It has lots of rules. And all of these rules are required to be programmed.

At second, because of it has lots of rules, there are lots of game situations at game field. And check them all – just impossible. And this is the way for bugs and inaccuracy.

I was thinking next. I take chess and just program simple thing about how figures moves. Game for two players. Without AI. First player one takes a step, and then second player is making step. And this is it. At first plan is very simple.

But, now, I am just now, in a stage of everything checking. About different game turns. And all the time I am running in inaccuracy in implementation of chess rules. And everything else - is already done in programming. All the time, there are troubles with tricky logic cases.

Also, I want to speak about graphic side. So I don’t want to draw game field and chess figures. And I have taken a complete pack, free. It is called SBS - 2D Chess Pack. From website Itchio. They have drawn it very good. I want to say, that SBS has also in this pack isometric pictures of game field and figures. Different colors. But I choose only top down view.

 Screaming Brain Studios – this is what hides under letters SBS. Cool guys! They have lots of assets and graphic packs. With different themes. Also with another themes, than chess. For dungeons, for games like dungeon crawler. So thanks to them for all these graphics themes!

Sounds to game – they are few – I make by myself in LLMS. This is such computer program. For creating music. Multitracks and also different plugins. Everything is possible.

Now, about what is it for a game. It is 2P Chess. 2P – 2 Players. Chess for two players. Artificial intelligence is absence. Game for two players. Also, plus to this some simple settings like select game field and select figures. And settings like – language – Russian or English. Turn on and of sound. Saying short, simple chess game.

Now, I am doing all these checks of different game situations. There are lots of them, as I see, in chess. And everything else – is already completed!
