« on: May 20, 2012, 10:05:52 PM »I like how you advertise it as Blockland Chess just to lazily disregard all of the rules related to strategy that actually make the game chess.
It's disappointing because I've always liked the idea of building custom board games on Blockland.
Hey its the player that needs to follow the rules, not the pieces. I guess everyone's just spoiled by perfect electronic chess...

Looks cool though.
Like i said pieces can move wherever the hell they feel like in this game.
i doubt you have the skill required to make every piece capture like real chess. you should probably change it to checkers.
I have tons of skill. And plus checkers has been done.
Anyone remember Tertris' falling tiles?
Forcing all the pieces to move exactly the way they do in real life is near impossible with just events.
Normal chess boards don't do that anyway.

Not first... but it's a Blockland chess set
It's not perfect (or done for that matter), but hey its better than i thought it would be. You can't castle, upgrade your pawn, or check the king, all you can do is choose a piece, pick a coordinate, and have it move there. Also pieces can move wherever you want them to. If there is a piece on the chosen square tho, it will get rid of it. Screenshots of gameplay below.
"Your pawn gives the sign that he's ready to go."
"You choose the coordinates on the board..."
"You check to see if the instructions are correct, hit the button, ..."
"...and away he goes!"
"What's this? An opponent stands in your way?"
"GIVE HIM WHAT FOR!"
So yeah, thats pretty much it. :P
