Real Chess
Bored of digging blocks ? Invite your friends and play a real chess game !
This chess is formspec-based and follows the same rules as in real life :
- Deterministic moves.
- Turn-by-turn serie.
- Win and Game Over after killing a king.
- Castling and pawns promotion when reaching the end of board.
- etc.
Everyone who access the formspec can watch the activity in real-time (but only the 2 players are able to move their respective pieces).

I looked through the source and didn't see any way to 'castle' or use 'en passant', if this is the case, I think it is a bit early to say that it follows the real life rules
Please correct me if I'm wrong
Also that 'than' should be an 'as' :)
EDIT: I also can't find any code for promotion of pawns - this claim is less thoroughly checked though

Castling and pawns promoting supported in current git state.

That's a cool idea.
I didn't realize formspecs and inventories could be suitable for something like this. Nice!

maybe there could be a reward for winning or something

Add awards? to depends.txt
Then add this somewhere in the file, like you do with minetest.register_node:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
if minetest.get_modpath("awards") then
awards.register_achievement("realchess:win",{
title = "Chess Winner",
description = "Win a chess game"),
prizes = {"default:stone 99"}
})
end
Finally, after this line
https://github.com/kilbith/realchess/bl ... t.lua#L536add:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
if minetest.get_modpath("awards") then
awards.give_achievement(playerName, "realchess:win")
end
The award will only be given once.

No sorry, I won't add an award to this mod, since a winning can be faked by a player for earning the award perpetually. Thanks for the proposal anyhow.

You don't have to give an item. Awards, iirc, are private so you're only really cheating yourself.

OK I might consider individually an award, but not a material prize.

maybe something like a betting system where the players playing provide the reward and winner takes all

I love this mod! The fact that other players can watch the game makes it even cooler. I found a couple of bugs, and I have some suggestions for improvement.
* Bug: A player that is in check or check mate is not forced to move/protect the king.
* Bug: Game doesn't end when player is in check mate.
* Suggestion: Display both player's moves in the chatlog, not just opponent. The current state make it harder to keep track of whose turn it is.
* Suggestion: Display dead pieces on the side of the board
