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.
> 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 :)
