AwesomeChess

Basic chess game developed using the Love2D game framework, using TOVE for displaying vector graphics. Still a few special moves missing, but mostly playable.

Features/TODO

• 2-player gameplay
• AI gameplay
• En passant
• Castling
• Pawn promotion
• Display valid piece moves
• Check for check
• Check for checkmate
• HUD/UI
  • Game Menu
  • In-game HUD (turn, latest moves, time, etc)
• Start screen
• Clean-up code

Player vs Player

2 Player game where 2 players can compete against each other.

Player vs AI

1 Player game where the player compete against a randomized AI. The AI will obey the rules of chess, but make random choices by first choosing a available piece to move and then choose a position to move it to. I hope to have time to implement a slightly more competent AI in the future.

If you think that something beyond this list is missing please don't hesitate to contact me. There might be special cases I don't know about :)
