Early beta for Travel Chess.
It replicates the little magnetic chess games I used to play with my brother in the back of the car on long journeys... (which I lost every time).
Todo:
Pressing X on the board will remove a piece or each time you press remove then spawn a piece in sequence (pawn up to king). This way you can do 'queening', replace a piece if you've made a mistake or set up the board however you like (chess puzzles, all rooks Vs bishops etc). |
Show possible moves when a piece is highlighted |
Indicate check/mate |
Add a nice piece of baroque music to the title (if you can help with this please contact me... @dlmrky) |
* Optimise code as right now it's just big horrible lists of IFs |
You need to know how to play actual chess, this game will not teach you or hold your hand :)
Peace out homedogs,

I've made a chess game myself in pico-8 recently

And someone else made one a year ago

My version check if a move is possible and if it doesn't put the king in check, but it has no sound.
However, one advice I would give you is to use tables as arrays to store your pieces instead of individual variables. Because with individual variables you cannot iterate over each piece of the board.
Hi harraps, this is great - I'll take a look into the two versions.
It's so odd, I'm sure I searched for 'chess' before making this game and couldn't find anything!

You might have only been searching the "cartridges" category; both of the other chess games are in the WIP category so I guess they have not been finished :)
