Simple Chess - 1.0.1

Just a simple chess game. No AI so it must be played two player. Comes with source code.

This currently is a rather useless program without AI or some form of online multiplayer, but I made it in 7 hours as a demonstration of my abilities and I might add an AI later.

Changes

  • Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon the attempt to promote a pawn.
  • Fixed the queen/king position. Now the board is correct.

    Here is some code in pure-Python to play chess: http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Cal...

    Remove the references to Myro, Graphics and gplay and you can play randomPlayer1 vs. randomPlayer2. I can send you a player that plays pretty well. Here are some additional notes:

    Coincidentally, that code works in a very similar way to mine!

    The chessboard is wrong.. the king and queen need to be switched

    isn't there castling?

    I see that when Keith reported king and queen needed to be switched on 2013-07-22, Jeremy made the correction too hastily and broke castling. I have that fixed in my copy. Also, I've replaced dozens of "magic numbers" with variables, and accordingly am running it at about twice the size, to use most of my 1920x1080 display. (It also makes the code a lot more self-documenting.)
