New Chess Game

[rtb7]

I ported Fruit 2.1 (fabien letouzey) chess engine to GP32 with a simple front end.
(See http://arctrix.com/nas/fruit/ and http://www.fruitchess.com)

Port based on DSChess (Boris von Loesch, http://www.vonloesch.de/dschess)

Bin & sources available on my website : http://www.geocities.com/rtb7

I love board games.

just wondering, how fast does it take the AI to make their move.. I remember the last chess game I tried on my gp32 could take up to 3 min. just for the comp to move..

Awsome; its great to see another chess game on the gp. Good competition for Dalto's Mythic Chess

GamePartner has been around for alot longer than Mythic Chess, he just updated the engine in use.

Good to see you still releasing GP32 stuff rtb7

Don't worry tekt5, it can move fast. Playing in fixed depth (4 by default), it's fast (less than some seconds) and strong enough for most of us until the "end game" (4 in not enough to make good choices sometimes).
But you can play with the clock, and the engine play in restricted time.

Thank you all (and F. Letouzey, the real author)

Where's castling?

 

[rtb7]

To "castle", Just move your king to the destination square (e1g1 or e1c1) and the rook will follow. It respects the castling rules : king not in check, and square between source and destination not controled by the oponent (ie : e1 f1 g1 for king side or e1 d1 c1 for queen side).

any problem with it ? show me the postion.

You should implement this spritesheet for the pieces:

Good job on the game.

Ripped gfx ? It's not really legal...
By the way, some other chess games gives the opportunity to change pieces but the "players" forget the real target (good chess playing skills) and it becomes a "best pieces set" challenge.
My own goal was to have a fast and good chess engine.
Note: some bugs are still existing in this release.
