[Abandoned] - Chess

why are the kings in check??? and i like the idea, but the map could use some modifications maybe (still looking at it so ill let u know)

neither king is in check

but as to how the queens got in that HORRID position i do NOT want to know, no matter what either player does BOTH of those queens are dead meat

oh those are the queens? look like the kings from one of my chess boards

[Herakilla]

ya the king is the one with the more pope like shape and the queens are the crowns

[bryguy]

ya the king is the one with the more pope like shape and the queens are the crowns

that makes no sense, it should be the other way around

[Herakilla]

that makes no sense, it should be the other way around

i remember that old program but i learned with the board game and that has the queen with a crown and the king with a cross (like the pope) so i think this way makes perfect sense

chess is so fun! i had a match up for school where i beat my opponent before everyone else was done so he wanted another game

i proceeded to bash him in 14 more games before other people started finishing lol and i used a different strategy for 10 of them, the last 4 all i did was exchange my pieces for his same ones since i can control my pieces better lol, it kept ending up with my 2 rooks and queen vs his queen and king

lol last time i played chess with people OTHER than someone im related to, i whooped them all, except the first person i played, me and him got a stalemate



oh well, i just thought that the king was the queen and the queen was the king cause u cant see the cross on the kings crown

Question - can black pieces attack other black pieces? Obviously has a major impact on strategy... Love the idea – hope you stick with it.

*cough*

[john9blue]

Nope, it's just like a regular chess game. You can only attack pieces of the opposite color.

Also, I know this is a bad setup, but I am saving any serious discussion about it for a further stage of development. Maybe I can provide a legend that shows how the pieces move, who knows?

ok, i see one thing that may be hard, the objective.



of course thats just from a coding point of view, cause its hard enough already to code

I wouldn't worry about coding if I were you. Besides, do you even know xml? It would just look like this:

Code: Select all

<objective>
   <components>
      <component>Piece1</component>
      <component>Piece2</component>
      ...
      <component>Piece15</component>
   </components>
</objective>

Do that twice and there ya go. Objective complete!

forget what i said earlier, that was before somebody came up with a program to help with the placing of armies so now i can do xml with ease


and yes i do know xml

[hecter]

What the hell does army coordinates have to do with the objective?

[bryguy]

no not the objectives, the xml, im great at all parts of xml EXCEPT for where the location of the armies are on the map

[bryguy]

why was this quit....

[herndawg]

What if all pieces started nuetral and they are +1 bonus when held, or for every two pieces +1, the first to own all of one color and conquer king of other color wins?

[premio53]

I used play chess in tournaments. Would it be possible to have several different starting positions for a starting setup? You could have The English Opening, Ruy Lopez, Queen's Gambit, Sicilian Defense, Dutch etc. There are enough openings to be able to have a different start for just about every game. Just a thought.
