Mythic Chess

[Nuak]

Are the sources available?
I you have used GNU Chess, you have to release the sources... at least the chess core.

First off- great release, this is indeed an excellent addition to my smc. Some suggestions-

- Music and/or sound effects perhaps? This would make the time go by a bit easier

- Show the pieces move across the board- this is my biggest suggestion. Its easy to not see what the comp just did b/c it happens so fast. I lost both knights without even realizing it lol. It dousnt have to be smoothe or anything; it would just make the game easier to play.

- Perhaps say what happened on the border, ex. rook takes knight or pawn to b4

- On custom set one (my favorite b/c its the clearest for me) please change the icons for the queen and the king. To me, it makes more sense that the big crown is the king- perhaps its just me though.

- Also, I had the same problem as someone else. When the game was done (yea, I lost) I couldnt do anything, the menu just hangs

Otherwise I like this alot. The graphics are fine; they get the gob done. Fantastic initial release Dalto! Thanks!

I never got to the end of a game but I think you should put some nice colorful "You Win!" and "You Lose!" screens. Put more than one kind for variation. You could even put particle made fireworks.

New version out!

Changes:
Added better endgame support
Slowed down menu timing
Added new board and piece size support
Added most excellent Mario piece set by MattMagoo

As always please feel free to provide feedback

EDIT: Download available at the beginning of this thread.

Actually, he have to release ALL linked to GPL code, each time he does a binary release.

This may be odd, silly, or something . . . but is it possible to add a save state? I would love to play a good game, but I rarely have time to play a whole game. That is the only thing holding me back from putting it on my SMC at the moment.

gp32 link cable.

But i think 2 players vs on same machine its ok.

what about code? :huh:

gp32 link cable.

Two players on the same machine is already implemented. As for the link cable...I would consider it but I just don't know how many people there are around that regularly see another person who owns a gp32, never mind playing linked games.

what about code? :huh:

I am going to release the source. I just want to clean it up a bit first.

 

[Enslaved]

But don't stop after that

I hope you are considering our suggestions.

Well, I already told you that I think it's very good work, but with mattmagoo's new gfx set it looks awesome! Nice work, guys!

Lovely looking tileset

This is a great chess game, it looks and feels very nice, thank you!

I do have a few ideas:
I think it would be nice to see a preview of the pieces and boards while selecting them.

I would like to be able to save my preferences (board, piece, skill etc).

Maybe if the game would get the piece and board graphics from a folder, this would give players the possibillity to change the graphics themselves by replacing the graphic files.

Other ideas have already been mentioned: music, savegames and a nice intro, menu and options-screen would really enhance the game.

Minor problems:
I have noticed that with tileset 2 and 4 I can see the 'ghosts' of the options screen through the board and can also see ghosts of where the pieces original position.

Piece and board selection doesn't do anything (I know it's in options) it just takes me back to the game.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

how about a way to use the charsets from gigas as animated chess pieces...

I love this chess game. i been waiting a while to be able to play a good chess game on my gp32. Thanks Dalto.

To Matmagoo ; thatnks for the pieces, they are very pleasing to the eye!

EDIT : I cant castle my king out of check. Is this a ule or a bug?

That's a rule. You cannot castle out of or through check.

There is no RF multiplayer support but two players can play using one gp32.
