1. Added Kings special move to func: doCheckPosessions()
2. Added Pawns special move to func: Moves.Pawn()

4. Added setting of King and Castles if already moved to func: doCheckPosessions()

- Chat.
- Checking for Check, and Check Mate.
- Hoping to find better ways to draw the board, would be cool if you can give some suggestions.

[c h i l l a]

   

its done,

First Chess Bot on the DC network for Ptokax Hubs, since Ptokax has the best functions for LUA.

Just to show how easy it is to create a full functional chess bot with LUA.

Checks for CORRECT MOVE.
Checks for CHECK.
Checks for CHECKMATE.

Allows chatting while playing.
Also sends $UserCommand  for dc++, when you connect.

LUA is just great.

Ras Chess V.008

[night_hawk]

[c h i l l a]

heya :)

well simple type

start - end

and if you use dc++ then check the users menue (right klick) and got to -RasChess- and then on Display Help

[15:03] <-Chessy->
   uwverlosser moves Queen from B8 to F8  .
   UwVerlosser sets tropic to CHECK.       ----- here  it goes wrong ... the ascii still shows the pawn in D2 (where it is supposed to be) but also a Queen in D1.. ?

hope this is clear enough ..  

GREAT SCRIPT i really do love it .. :0)
we really where having big fun thankx ..  ..  :D

p.s. is possible to get a choice of piece when a pawn reaches opposite side (even if only the Horse)?

keep up the good spirit :)

[chill]

well UwV? thx for the info, but this script is quite complex, so I guess there will still be some errors in it, including that one.

Versions befor this one I had a game where figures just disappeared randomly, well it took me some time to find the error, but I had to see what the script does on each move, till I finally found it, so I guess I won't be able to solve this problem, but you may be lucky when the next release is finished, cause I know about the error, its the checkforcheckmate function when ones king has dissappeared, or something like that, I will add the option of choosing a figure when reached the other side, plus some other stuff, in next release.

cya.

[UwV?]

yep ..  
the checkforcheckmate is a old one .. i remember it .. i've been trying to play since...   chess.v.003.lua

I just thought that that pawn not even having to move and the new queen (able to move without the pawn ever moving and so keeps on gettin new queens) was new ...

can't wait for the next version ,,,

now the sport is to actualy finish a game of chess
 .. ;0)


(i understand..  it is a complicated script .. i have no comments, only respect for your efforts in this one )
