chess

Hi!

here's a first test app for a chess algorithm.
just the basic rules of chess are implemented yet - no special moves

can you beat it?

download

"acknex.dll" file corrupted, can you re-upload it again?

in der tat, auch mit bestem willen komm ich hier nur zu einem "installation damaged"

I have problems with my ftp upload.
I'll try it tonight....

sorry

Something new on this issue?
I would like to test it.

Hint: As chess player I would prefer even more "clean" figures.
I think they are to smooth which introduces a certain similarity between them.

Edit:
If you need urgently someone with webspace - write me a pm.

pm'ed

Did you implement a chess AI?
If yes, does it use some recursive evaluation technique?

I think chess is a nice game, but for many casual players
not much fun.
It would be good to have a chessgame, using a very weak
AI, that makes humanlike errors.

i think that would be great to get people to play more chess,
an be less frustrated when starting out such a game.

---

another ideas is to let the AI help the player a bit,
Such as marking 3 figures, of wich 2 are considered doing
a faroable move, and 1 a "bad" move.
So the player can do a little "guided guessing"
of wich to use next.
-> without helping too much

It could also mark enemy figures beforehand wich are about to
make a strong move.

Have fun!

You can move your own figures to any position.

Quite a serious bug still

Apart from that, cool to see the AI playing.

@fogman: thanx for hosting & testing!

@Damocles_:
there is no validity check yet - it's an early alpha to test the AI.
The AI is a recursive alphaBeta (minmax) algorithm.
It is possible to adjust the depth and the extends (curr. 2/4) of the algorithm.

if you select a figure and click the same tile it disappears.

otherwise, ai looks nice.

"if you select a figure and click the same tile it disappears."

kicked yourself

Nice AI man.

yes,but i think its more like "self challenge" than making a funny game.

The square colours are inverted, the qhite queen has to been on a white square. Also your game doesn't check if the user's turns are valid. And you have to make the player able to swap his pawns against queens (or rooks, knight or bishops if the player wants that) when they reach the other end of the field.

The AI is not bad, but I guess you implemented an already finished one, right?

Haha, I can do lots of illegal moves
And the chess models look "thick" for me.

Overall, nice game!

I like chess.

Here the checkmate:

neat! some shadows would really improve the look, I guess.
And the movement-display on the left is cool as well.

Found a bug:

You can see the steps in the image.

whooops - how did you do this mess?

Same has happended for me.

I see! The table has the same ID like the pawns
Will update it tonight - still have the ftp problem @work...

fixed, replaced: http://www.gameus.de/content/3dgs/chess/chess.zip
