Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever attempted to make or port some chess on the 'mite? The real one I mean, not the colour...

Hi Kon,

I tried a little bit an old BASIC chess code and it seems to work...
The code has a graphic output that not work properly but the moves seems to be ok.

My aim is to create a little servo robot arm (controlled by a Maximite) to do the moves!

Was it the GWChess? I played a bit with its code these days. It contains quite a few LOCATE commands which initially I thought will be fine. But then in fact I had to convert them all because the Microsoft's format is <line,column> while MMBasic interprets as <column,line>. LOCATE also has a third parameter in the original code, which causes MMBasic to exit with an error. Yet, after converting the whole output, the code failed with too many nested GOSUBs and I got tired from it :)
What you are trying to do sounds interesting. Maybe when you build it you will share some photo/video showing your robotic player?Edited by kiiid 2013-10-11
