QBJS - Chess API

More feedback

the issue is related to checkmate...

Thanks for all the great feedback!  Looks like I didn't test the win condition enough.  I've made some updates to fix this and provide a clearer game over message.  I've posted an update to the chess API to add the following methods:

RemovePiece
Removes a piece from the board at the specified location.

Code: (Select All)

Chess.RemovePiece "C2"

SetPiece
Sets a piece at the specified board location.

Code: (Select All)

Chess.SetPiece "F1", "k"

These methods make it a lot easier to test out different scenarios and end states.

History
Returns a listing of all moves from the current game.

Code: (Select All)

ReDim hist(0) As Object

hist = Chess.History

For i = 1 To UBound(hist)

    Print i; hist(i).turn; " "; hist.from; " -> "; hist.to

Next i

   

Here's the latest version with the changes:


As far as all of the other UI suggestions, I thought they were great.  Feel free to use this as a starting point.  I'd love to see a @TempodiBasic version.
