hmmm.... maybe you SHOULD work on something easier.
Now that I think more about it, this program is way more complicated than I first imagined.

*a long time later*

Ugh!! Every way I try to do it results in a large amount of if statements (not 1000+, but still )

Here's what I've come up with to move a white pawn

I realize that the functions don't work because the board (row, col) actually equals something like "whtque", not 2 separate parts, "wht" and "que". You can just add in some string manipulation to get it to work

code:

function checkcolour (row, col)     if board (row, col) = "wht" then         result white     elsif board (row, col) = "blk" then         result black     end if end checkpiece function checkpiece (row, col)     if board (row, col) = "que" then         result queen     elsif board (row, col) = "pawn" then         result pawn     %elsif ............         %result .....     end if end checkpiece     get row1     get col1     get row2     get col2     if checkcolour (row1, col1) = white then         if checkpiece (row1, col1) = pawn then             if board (row2, col2) = " " then                 board (row2, col2) = board (row1, col1)                 board (row1, col1) = " "             end if         end if     end if

That's mearly for a white pawn, without any detection of collisions with other pieces or validation that the move is legal. As you can see, its going to be a rough ride

i silently figured that out to (insert Large Number Here ) of code.. and that is why i didn;t make a chess/// i heard that someone acuallly made one tho//./ maybe thats just a rumur??? is it tru??? and where is it??

That's interesting...... That's very interesting...
I just did a search for "chess" using the "search" command and it returned a topic made not 3 hours ago. It can be found here.

bugzpodder made one, I think you could get it from his website, it was a 2 player chess game, I'm pretty sure he didn't have AI with it.
