Chess

Posted by gamehawk on Dec. 8, 2005, 4:57 p.m.

I know that a few people here like chess, I've seen topics on GMC and such. Let's make a chess engine dammit! I love chess it's the bomb, so who wants to help me get it started? After that it will become a community project. I can do some coding, but we need graphcis. I know ludamad will want in on this!

Chess is cooler, scrabble is cool too, but I want to learn to deveolop a chess engine in GM! A scrabble engine would be easy, besideds already a ton of word games, no chessgames really in GM. They have word games for GM! A community project like this would be fun! Ludamad is gonna want in won't ya?

Cool, graphics for now. I am going to use arrays to store values for pieces, some one want to look into a list of simple opening moves?

How can I comment on my own blog post? I don't care how hard it is!

Check the topic in the Projects section. :)

Don't start yet, because I am going to code the main engine. Sorry.

Make Scrabble. Chess is for losers.

YEAH! I love chess (I'm playing it right now), scrabble would be neat, too. I'm thinking of making a simpler kind of AI, it lists the possible moves into an array and find the one that kills something or goes to the center, once we have that really weak AI we can start going deeper, like if it kill something in two moves, will it lose something more important. It won't be too strong but it'll be interesting.

I started drawing some weird pieces, I drew a knight and a bishop and am on the rook. It's easier if the black pieces are actually red, and the white actually blue helps retain detail.

Hmm…

Sounds good.

What could I help with?

I have a rook and am starting on a 2 player mode without AI, I could program the king pawn openings into it, those are very popular.
