AGJM 13 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Forza Motorsports 4 is a lot of fun.

BoltBait 3,235 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Happy thought of the day: I wrote a chess game: http://www.boltbait....ree/games/chess It wasn't as hard to code as I expected. If you beat it with a really short game (say, less than 10 moves) please post the game so I can fix it.

Ego Eram Reputo 2,756 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I beat it. It is still a fun game! I was playing 3 ply + Turbo mode (I have a little experience with the game mind you ). Turk played well into the Queens Gambit Declined until it moved it's Q prematurely, allowing me to capture the Knight by Bxf6 and forcing the recapture gxf6 (ruins Blacks pawn structure). Q: How do I copy the moves? Why not Algebraic notation? Easier to program with d2d4 notation?

BoltBait 3,235 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Q: How do I copy the moves? Why not Algebraic notation? Easier to program with d2d4 notation? Sorry, you can't copy the moves except one at a time. Click the wrench to expose the entire moves list, then you can highlight each item in the list individually. Yes, the D2D4 notation is MUCH easier to program. The next item on my list is to fix it so that it uses the more modern notation. Glad you had fun though. BTW, did you enjoy the history lesson? Had you heard of The Turk before? Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to post Share on other sites
Red ochre 1,623 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Very clever! One slight problem though, I checkmated it and then it ignored that and took my castle! - mind you I've played real people like that. Well done though. Must go back and explore.

BoltBait 3,235 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 The game ends when one king is captured. I wrote it that way on purpose. It is more of a throwback to an earlier time in the history of the game.

Red ochre 1,623 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ah - that makes sense. Although there are/have been some astounding players I'm always amazed at how clever the game itself is. I suppose mainly down to evolution. I read somewhere that it started as a 4 player game - but even I'm not old enough to remember that! Quote Red ochre Plugin pack...............................................................

It would be great if we could highlight & copy the move list too. BTW, did you enjoy the history lesson? Had you heard of The Turk before? I've been a competitive chess player (read: strong club player) for years, so the story of the Turk is well known to me. Once upon a time I was ranked 115th in New Zealand, but I haven't competed at that level for a few years. I didn't get a lot of time to fiddle with the game. Is there a way to swap colors so the Turk plays white?

BoltBait 3,235 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 It would be great if we could highlight & copy the move list too. I'm afraid that isn't possible. It is a limitation of the language I'm using. Is there a way to swap colors so the Turk plays white? P-QR4?

BoltBait 3,235 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 True. In this case, I am limited by the language I'm using to implement the chess game. Scratch is an interpreted language so speed is a problem. This was the challenge I set for myself. I could have written it in C# or C++ and it would have been significantly faster. However, others have already done so. There is only one other chess engine written in Scratch and it is a 2-ply engine with no opening book. Since I love to write games in Scratch (see the games in my sig) I wasn't sure Scratch could even handle a 3-ply engine. The Scratch Flash player with its Turbo Mode is a somewhat new development. I thought that it might be able to handle it. That's why I challenged myself to write it. And, I thought it turned out rather well. While it is true that a 3-ply (or even a 4-ply) engine does not present the player with much of a challenge, I'm rather proud of what I was able to accomplish given the limitations I was working under.

Red ochre 1,623 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I think it's brilliant - certainly challenging after being used to a 'takeback' feature. I did beat it - but I'm a notoriously lucky player! The speed is fine on 'turbo' mode - I don't have patience with slow players - human or computer - perhaps you should add a chess-clock! The Vista built-in chess game isn't that fast on high ply and your 3D view is clearer than their's too. All that in 30 hours work - very impressive!

Ego Eram Reputo 2,756 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I tried a 'soft' opening move to get it to play it's own opening. I didn't feel it was as strong as the other way around. On the simplest settings I'm winning hands down. When I have time I'll challenge it on the higher settings. Nice Job BoltBait!

AhmedElyamani 22 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (see the games in my sig) just saw them and wow ! i find them good , i really loved that adventure game where you order the computer. good job also if you want a better way to write your chess algorithm you can write it in Javascript (which has a very similar syntax to c# and c++) , i know that you want to challenge your self by writing it in scratch , but why not challenge yourself by making it more awesome? cheers .
