Action Chess

Action Chess

Waiting for your turn? How very nineties!

Enjoy age-old tactical mechanics in a new frantic setting!

Game Rules

Action Chess implements standard chess rules. Except the rule about taking turns to move pieces.

The implementation has known limitations:

1. No castling
1. No en passant
1. Pawn always promotes to Queen
1. Check-mate code does not look for blocking the check and probably has other bugs.
1. Turns out I forgot to stop you for moving the opponents pieces, too :)

Controls

For mouse control:

1. Click on a piece
1. Click on the target square
1. Good job, try another move!

For keyboard control:

1. Select the file to move from by typing a letter from `a` to `h`
1. Select the rank to move from by typing a number from: `1` to `8`
1. Repeat (file and rank) for the target square
1. Good job!

Extra help:

* Type `SPACE` to re-select the last moved piece to and move it again
* Type `X` to reset an in-progress move

Builds

The linux and osx builds have been tested. If windows doesn't work, sorry :( LMK and I'll try to fix it.

Changelog
