    Check out my new CHESS game with AI(Artificial Intelligence)

    Hi all,
    I have been working on a DOS (BGI graphics) based chess game with 1 (AI) and 2 player mode for my college project.. You can download the instalation from the below link.. Please try it and post your review here.. particularly about the AI.. if you face any problems post it here...


    The game starts default at 1 player mode.. to toggle between 1 and 2 player mode use the number 2 key on the keyboard.... You are incharge of the white pieces.. to move a piece use your moue to drag and drop the chess piece....

    When the program in installed a desktop shortcut in installed which can be used to start the game..

    The instalation requires you to enter a serial key ().. the serial key is
    JSSIIPS-BTEC-MYSORE-9999


    waiting for your review....

    bye

    I'm running win98se, and it runs fine for me. It's actually a pretty good game. The AI made decisions instantly, and it takes good moves when they appear. The AI isn't perfect, but it's intelligent.

    My complaints:
    - white and black pieces are the same color
    - it doesn't interact well with windows' multimedia

    >>white and black pieces are the same color
    Actually, white pieces are lighter than black pieces.

    >> it doesn't interact well with windows' multimedia
    Huh?

    after playing another game:
    - The AI isn't too intelligent... it's fairly shallow
    - when I checkmated the computer, it didn't acknowledge it; it just stalled (not mouse or keyboard, but just the game itself)

    Wow! It must be a male AI!

    First time I ran it, it errored out. Second time it ran.

    Would not acknowledge that I had won, insisted on making a move when horribly checkmated. Changed pieces, i.e. what was a Queen, it suddenly announced was a bishop. When castling, not all of the rook picture was detroyed leaving a weird smudge in the corner. Undoing a move seemed to remove several "thought moves" before removing the actual, then seemed to get in a mess when repeatedly trying, move count seemed to increment by large numbers. Was not an obvious way to quit, had to Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill it.

    Way to go yet matey, but keep at it. Look forward to the next version.

    Mouse movement created errors with the graphics for me, and the AI didn't recognized that it was checkmated after approx. 8 moves. That was luck, of course, but I did notice that sometimes the AI will make a move, and then move the piece back to the original spot on the next move...it needs to look far enough ahead that it doesn't do that. If you need a screen shot, I can probably get you one. WinXP
    Away.

    Than you guys...
    for you review... I still need to improve some aspects of the game.... I agree that the AI is still not good enough but OK.. working on it.. Keep it comming...

    And the problem with it accepting a check mate seems to happen here too.. but only at some times.. i think there is a problem... any way...

    and quit the game press esc key twice.....

    anything else you think needs improvement....... please post a message

    thanx for the review.. The undo has some big bugs... I think using it creates a lot more problems in single player mode.. but undo works fine in 2 player mode.. thanx anyway

    Why would your installer program want to do this?
