There's nothing wrong with the grayscale. I'm just going to add an option to fine tune it even farther. It's not enabled by default so those who want to spend time getting it just perfect can do it if they want.

It's projects like this that make me wonder if TI calculators actually support grayscale natively O.o

I've thought about that too. But the main problem I see is an 80% decrease in battery life. Check out this awesome post by Dr. Dnar.

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

The game itself looks amazing. The graphics are practically perfect.

I recently downloaded the latest one, and haven't been able to beat it since <.<
Looking great!  I'm probably going to implement this sort of grayscale in KnightOS.

They are. Pity you don't code for the Nspire, or I can't imagine what you'd come up with.

has there been any progress on this, such as fixing the checkmate bug?

Checkmate bug? I thought I fixed that back here. If there's a new problem I'll fix it though.

You're right, thanks a lot. I was a version out of date.

I tried Chess 7.8XP, the latest version (I think), tried opening it with DoorsCS 7 (I saw the icon on Doors) and the calculator just froze (crashed) and I had to reset.

TI Nspire 84+ Keypad.

I don't think it will work on the Nspire's 84+SE since it doesn't emulate the crystal timers. Thepenguin77 might also be using some of the undocumented instructions, but he's definitely using the timers.

I bet you weren't expecting an update here.

I now make the program look at all available moves instead of the best four. (It still only picks moves that are within 75% of the best move though) Also, the AI now also takes into account the number of moves available before and after its current move.

What does this mean? Opening moves don't suck and it actually puts in into some annoying situations. I've only played one game against it, and for a while, I was losing. Granted I'm tired, but still, it's definitely better.


Lastly, in the process of all this, I found the glitch that made the white opponent suck, it will now play exactly like black.

Edit:
   I need to play with my math a little bit, this version favors the queen too much.

That sounds like a great improvement, ill download and play this now!
PS: I love chess. Chess is a great game.
PPS: Review: Looks quite nice, u really made good use of the screen space. What you could do is on the left and right margins is show what pieces have been taken.
AI is ok, but I still managed to beat it with a knight fork on rook&king leading to the king moving to a vulnerable position.
A weakness is that it always wants to retreat after it attacks

I'm not sure if it was an old version or something, but a friend of mine showed me a bug where he could move his king in checkmate from the rook's position in one corner of his side of the board to the bishop's position on the other half of his side of the board.
