Chess

Hey.

Has a chess game been made before with Construct? I want to know because i want to make a chess game, & i seek few engines out! & if Construct can or if there is any Source codes I'll be really happy contact me if you have details regarding this subject.

Cheers

Well there's the grid behavior, but it's only horizontal, and vertical.

You could even use the custom movement behavior using the step method.

You can make chess in construct, but it will take some doing to make a computer player.

Here are some helpful websites on the subject:

Here is an initial stage of a checkers game I was making (not the same as chess I know, but similar). It allows movement of any piece, capturing of the other colors piece, and kinging. I didn't go any further, because it would become very complex making a smart enough computer ai to make it enjoyable to play. Complexities aside, I find checkers more enjoyable to play against a human player.
