Title: Hi There!
Post by: Link on August 30, 2012, 01:16:48 pm
Hi! I like xkcd and programming! I can use C/C++/C#, Perl, Ruby and a bit of awk. I like videogames, especially puzzles, fantasy, RPG and Minecraft; and I also love to make ACSII art oh and legend of zelda!

Welcome on Omnimaga :)
And lol, playing Chess with Ascii on forums XD

Also, I saw you are used to lock topics when you got help but that is not a good idea for two reasons:
 - maybe people will have the same problem as you but not understand the solution so they need to post on your topic
 - maybe someone will have to add something to the discussion to help more

Topic locking is usually reserved to topics on which the discussion turned into a fight ;)

Welcome on Omnimaga!

As Hayleia said, we don't usually lock threads when they're solved, so please refrain from locking them. We only do that when we need to stop a discussion that turned into a fight :P

Anyway, lol playing chess on the forums :P Here's another complimentary bag of peanuts.

Hmm, I own a Casio scientific calc (my first one), and a Ti-84+SE, which I mostly use Axe or basic with.

How's that?

I'm using one normal space ( ) followed by one full-width space () in every empty square, and one normal space followed by the chess symbol in every square with a piece inside. As long as you keep it in that form it should look fine :)

Just an idea...
How about an IRC bot which hosts a chess game? The players type their moves like b2-b4 and the bot checks if the moves are valid/legal and prints the board.  :P
Title: Re: Hi There!
Post by: ruler501 on September 04, 2012, 06:20:42 am
The only thing about that is that if you post enough lines the server may boot you for flooding. Maybe through DCC though

I might actually do this, given I have enough time, It seems simple enough.

I think the most difficult part is to check whether a move is possible or not. (Right player's turn, piece can move in that pattern, no other pieces are in between (except for the knights))

Not really, just make each piece an object, and make it follow the rules depending on the pieces ID, check against a rules class.

Yea, should be able to do it in a month or two, with school starting and all.
Edit:
Hmm, actually, maybe a normal server client app would be better, as an irc bot may mess-up formatting
