Chess Dos

Play chess with other Greenfoot users, or against the AI (with difficulty setting), or yourself.

There are four difficulty settings for the AI. So far it just determines how many moves the AI will look ahead (2-5).

Pawn promotion piece selection is done by clicking (to toggle through options) on the piece shown to the right of the chess board. Have it ready before moving a pawn to be promoted.

Playing with other users:
* Comment below to ask someone to join you if no one is in the game with you.
* May chat with your opponent.
* Who goes first is randomized for now.
* There is no time restriction.
* Notices will be given if your opponent quits the game (starting a new game), or if they may have paused the scenario or left.

To-Do
* Save game feature


The AI is similar to my one from like 3 years ago, but with better implementation/documentation. My old chess game can be found here:

Thanks Danpost! I found the bug. When the AI checked the Queen's movement possibilities to the right, it found the pawn, checked to see what happens if it captured it, finds out its King is still in check, so continued with path. The execution break for the path (to the right), when it found a piece (the pawn) occurred after the king check, so was skipped.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on Thu Feb 20 12:45:17 UTC 2014 Fixed AI bug where a Rook, Bishop, or Queen would continue a path in a particular direction over an opponent's piece, if capturing the piece would result with the AI King being in check. Thanks again Danpost for the report

It does not seem to ever start for me, the system hangs like it is in dead lock.

Does the applet load? Or are you talking about the computer's turn in the game?

Something weird happened to my machine - If I am running java (jboss) somewhere else the 2 instances fight for resource. I killed the other process and it seems to be ok now.
Can you add en-passant into your code?

@Blackknight1123, I forgot about that move, when I have time I will look into adding it.
Also, can you make under-promotion possible.

@Blackknight1123, under-promotion is already implemented. Check the scenario description for how to do this.
