This looks pretty sweet thepenguin77. I'll give it a look when I have some time. I'm also seconding the two player via link suggestion. ;)

I probably won't do link play because I don't see it being that necessary. It's very hard to do, especially because I would need to do USB linking. And in reality, it's not even that necessary, you could just hand your friend your calculator, especially if they are sitting close enough to use a link cable :D


I fixed the Queen side castling and I added in pawn promotion. The game also flips the board around when the black player is moving. This makes it slightly annoying to play against yourself, but it is disableable via an internal flag, which will be in the options menu.
You should use Calcnet routines.  Also, please make the switching optional, because I hate chess games that do that.  It just bugs me. ;-)

Switching will be optional in the next update. But it only does it in two player mode, it one player mode it leaves the board in whichever orientation makes sense for the entire game.

True enough I suppose, but I'm curious. Why would using USB be necessary? Couldn't you just use the link port? There was another thing that I just thought of as well. I know many of your previous games used undocumented instructions and didn't run on the normal TI-83+. Is this one compatible with the normal TI-83+?

I finally got this on my calc, and here are my thoughts:
-The grayscale is flawless.  This is the most impressive to me.  Other games that claim to have flickerless grayscale should be ashamed.  The grayscale in this is freaking amazing.  It makes it look like the screen is built for grayscale.
-The AI is good, but it would be nice if I lost occasionally.
-The AI is stubborn as hell.  I've had three queens on the board against his king, and it has squirmed all over the board before I managed to capture him.
-Pass-the-calculator works fine, but link play would be nice.

Overall, I'm extremely impressed.

Is it just me, or does it seem the opponent's king moves more than one space at a time sometimes?

No, it's not just you.  It does that to me too occasionally.

Since it always moves horizontally (at least for me, so far), I suspect it's castling when it shouldn't be?   /speculation

It's currently not compatible. The reason for the previous ones is not undocumented instructions, that only restricts use on Nspire, it's because of fastmode and crystal timers. Here are the current incompatablilites.
-Crystal timers /Nspire /83+BE (perfect grayscale and frame limiting)
-Fast mode /83+BE (perfect grayscale and fast thinking, in slow mode it would crawl even just moving the cursor)
-Extra ram page /83+BE (grayscale, not 100% necessary at the moment, but requires hacking otherwise)

It's vaguely possible I could make this work on an 83+BE, but it would be ugly (figuratively and literally)

Thanks, I have researched the LCD driver to make grayscale as perfect as possible, especially if you adjust your frequency right. (There's a topic around here somewhere.) And a better AI is in the works.

I just fixed that. It was because the CPU didn't tell the piece putting routine what piece it was putting, it just did it manually. Which meant the flags for the rooks moving never got set. The king was actually castling out there.

Ah, too bad it's not compatible with the TI-83 BE. I'll have to wait to test it. D:

stupid AI noob!!! it keeps cheating! Castling does NOT work that way!!! I found a way to beat it anyways. I put it in checkmate and had my queen on same horizontal line so even if it "castled" it wouldn't be safe. when i took out all of my opponents pieces including the king, the game didn't end.

I know he fixed the fake castling, but what happens when you win? I beat him and took every single piece but nothing happened...

thats not how you win at chess ;) You win by checkmating the king, so that he has no safe place to move.  Just removing all the other pieces doesnt end the game itself

Yeah, but he said including the king. It should never be possible to actually capture the king, because it's illegal for your opponent to make a move that lets you do so.
