Chess+, Opera application V1.3 Mar 19, 2007 10:10:40 PM

Chess+ uses the javascript chess engine and interface made by Sven Vahar to play chess against the computer. It has 3 difficulty levels, the ability to switch which side of the board you are on, and you can even take back your move!

*************************************
1.3 Update:

Changed difficulty level names.
Added # of players drop down menu (this doesn't work! please do not post about this, as it is still under beta!).
*************************************
1.2 UPDATE:
Added reload button
*************************************
1.1 UPDATE:

Deleted new game button and about button, as neither worked. To start a new game, you will have to refresh the widget. I will be working on making a new refresh button soon.

Added Close button.

Added background style.
*************************************

Please tell me if there is anything I should add/delete. Also, the next update (version 1.2) should be up soon. I will feature a refresh button and maybe a number of players control (it may be saved for 1.3 release). In version 2.0, I will take apart the code in order to make a config panel and will try to put the computer level, the number of players, and the rules there. I hope you enjoy this widget!

KNOWN ISSUES:

Cannot move as black.

King takes a piece when it is checkmate and then says checkmate.



I will try to get to these problems as soon as possible, but like it says below in the comments, my computer crashed and I am trying to get everything done as quickly as possible. Please hang on for a little while, I haven't forgotten!

====================================

UPDATE!!!
After the many months I have been gone, I finally got a stable OS, but have no time for this anymore. :frown: I will leave this in case another developer wants to pick up where I left off and make a better widget. :smile: I am sorry I could not continue.

Ok, my computer that had the Chess+ stuff on it crashed, so I have to start all over on the 2 player mode. Sorry for this!!!

Actually, in chess, you are better off analizing a move slower than faster. So "slow" is just another way of saying "harder". Anyway, I updated the widget to include the correct terminalogy.

the difficult level is confusing,
slow and stupid is the same for me because someone stupid is slow

Thanks, I am *still* working on trying to get it to stop the script when in 2 player mode. I think I might have to go into the chess engine and to it that way. :frown: If that happens, I do not know what will happen to the engine.

This chess game is great!:smile: I really thought chess would be a too complex game to make a decent AI in javascript, but this widget is quite able to put up a good game. Impressive!
