Can you beat your Prop at Chess?
 
This is by no means complete, but I lost motivation when I started running out of room...
 
I think it knows all the rules and plays fairly.

Hi Rayman.

It is not posible to have .dat files in High half in EEprom on ProtoBoard and load them on demand.
That can give You more place for program area.
To load them it is only ned for simple I2C handler

Nothing is impossible, there are only different degrees of difficulty.

For every stupid question there is at least one intelligent answer.

Don't guess - ask instead.

If you don't ask you won't know.

If your gonna construct something, make it as simple as possible yet as versatile as posible.

There are some options... I could do as you say.

I could use Baggers RLE code code compress the images.

But, I think the easiest thing for me is to use my PSM module to do it on the LCD and use the PSM's SD card to store true color images...

That should free up enough space to do a really nice job. But, honestly, I don't forsee having the time to complete this, which is why I posted it now...

PS: Anybody beat their Prop yet? It's not too hard, but it takes a while...

The main things missing are opening and closing move libraries...

Played a quick game. Stalemate. But then again I'm stale. . Haven't played a good game in years since my son is grown and gone.
 
Thanks for the memories! Next Prop against Prop.

Rayman, looks great.

However, there appear to be a couple of bugs in your code that does the black castling. Starting with a new game if I move my Kings pawn forward two the prop then moves far left pawn forward one, I then move Queen's Knight forward and right and the prop tries to castle on the Queen's side (sorry for all the wrong move and piece names, I don't know all the proper move notation.) It happened another time as well on the other side but it was further in the game and I can't remember what caused it.

Nice Mouse too.

Well, I just won a game. But after I won it put up a "Bad move.." on the left side of the screen. When it did the incorrect castle the other pieces (rook and bishop) were still under the other pieces and it also changed a pawn to a king at one stage. Maybe you've run out of stack space?

Steven: Hmm... I thought I had all those bugs worked out... I'll have to double check that I've posted the latest version...

Castling is a bit buggy. Black had two queens and no king for a while, then three rooks and no king, then... Not too smart yet, I promoted a pawn mid game. The game didn't go well for the propeller from then on. Still, this is rather cool! I think the graphics are fine quality. If you're hurting for space to make the AI smarter I wouldn't mind cruder graphics even.

Ok, sounds like there's a definite bug with castling... I'll try to find time to fix that...

The AI could be dramatically improved with a little more code space. My current inclination is to do this with the help of the onboard LCD and SD card on my PSM module. Other alternative is to wait for Prop2...

The Prop2 is just a myth created to keep people put of by P1's limitations interested in Propelerness. It is perpetuated by very smart and well to do individuals because they believe in it as fact because their high priest said it was so.

Therefore you should fix it up to run on the PSM, then everybody who got one would have a demo to show off all of PSM's featurization.

If nothing else it should be fairly easy to find the code that does the castling and just comment it out right?

Strangely, a large percentage of the code is there just to handle little things like castling and en passant... I put a lot of effort into adding that and wouldn't want to take it out... Maybe I'll have time on my flight out to CA to look into what's wrong...

Sweet! I beat it on the first try! I must be better at chess than I thought.
Just a suggestion, you could make a Human Vs. Human option too, and put a "Propeller is thinking.."
on the screen when it is the prop's turn, or just change the cursor to a propeller hat.smilewinkgrin -- ProccessingData...

Basic Stamp,     Propeller,     SX,   FUN!
