Game Dev-- Construct Classic
Attempting to make a simple game, and it might turn into Chessyourself or something. Right now I just decided to test making a trigger system inside the game, which had great results...
Another video, showing gameplay footage of TwatterVille The game. Unfortunately, it has nothing that the other then the menu screen and the introduction.

Probably Construct Classic. Given the name and all.
If you're going to actually make this into a chess game I request that my character is left out.
I'm asking this because I believe turning this into a full fledged game is taking a joke too far and you shouldn't steal sprites idiot makes and turn it into a game.

It doesn't really matter if a joke like that turns into a game. I mean, what's so bad about that? If made correctly, it can even end up being pretty good. And if he does end up making it into a game, he wouldn't steal the sprites, he would first ask idiot for his permission, and also credit him. I'm not saying they should make the game, though.renhoek wrote:I believe turning this into a full fledged game is taking a joke too far and you shouldn't steal sprites idiot makes and turn it into a game.

I was thinking about making a chessyourself.
I don't have the time, though.

the stealing sprites part was a joke I was referencing how I stole idiots sprite for my game.
Games can be created from jokes there's nothing wrong with that, but I just think it's bad idea to do so because it rarely works out, and seeing as this is just a chess clone I don't see it working out.

I'm obsessed with board games.
You'd be suprised to see what I could come up with basing it off chess.
Unique piece powers and such.
Programming is the problem.
It really doesn't look like popcan is making anything close to chess, though. Chess isn't exactly a 2d platform.
EDIT: Yeah, if you did make a game, it would typically only apply to the community on which the joke was about, and even then, not all may care for the game, so you've got a real limited communities. Plus, making an AI would be a pain, so everybody's got to have a player 2 or a dedicated programmer.

I think online multiplayer and an ai would be quite a lot of work for a game based on avatars.
The online might be possible, but the scoreboards would be near impossible without a server, and would also be hard to prevent cheating.
Camewel, I understand you may be joking, but I kind of like the idea.
It just isn't very possible.

It's possible, if you want a basic AI, you can do one that take a random move. And then if you want to make it less shit, you can make it so that it favorize moves which are good(No enemy who can take you)BobTheLawyer wrote:I think online multiplayer and an ai would be quite a lot of work for a game based on avatars.

And the online multiplayer is turn per turn, so it's a bit easier.(I don't say it's trivial)
IMO the gameplay shouldn't be just a reskin of normal chess. pieces should have unique abilities.(Like freezing an enemy piece for x turns)

I agree the gameplay should be different.
I need to figure out how to transfer information over computers with love.
Is there a tutorial for that?

I don't know one, but you can use LUBE, it make networking a bit easier : http://www.love2d.org/wiki/LUBEBobTheLawyer wrote:I agree the gameplay should be different.

(There is two "modules", UDP and TCP) I think you should use TCP, since UDP is more for real time games.
Edit: Also, I've made a small try a while ago: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfutuvygyxmvy ... player.zip The server is in Python, though.

Ok, one, that was just a test to see if the engine was working properly, because that video is obviously not chess.
Edit: http://search.cpan.org/~bjr/Chess-0.6.0/ It's seems as though there's already a chess framework, albeit with Perl.

Agreed. I could help with the new rules, and I might take a shot at spriting a bonko.I feel like being a rook. Don't know why...Qcode wrote:I doubt many people would repeatedly play chessyourself unless there was some form of online multiplayer coded.
It's hard enough getting a person to sit down and play chess, even harder to get them to play a version where all the rules have been chaged. Even with AI, the regular forum member would download it, say "oh that's kinda cool" and then never play it again. If you added leaderboards as for most wins (matches played online with other forum members of course) then there would be an actual incentive to play.
1 question, though,(to anyone who's willing to work on chessyourself) Would White and black have different forum members, or would the same set be used for each side?

I'd be willing to work on this, but I'd need somebody who I know can code to agree to help me with multiplayer (and I'd work in love, not ConstructClassic)
EDIT: I wouldn't use white/black necessarily.
I would use colored bases and you can draft/pick your team

Automatik, they won't have set different characters, but each side could draft different characters. It allows for more strategies and tactics.
I'm thinking based on points.
I'll start on this this weekend if I get a chance.
Does anyone have good idas for the layout of the game? (It won't look good aerial since the pieces are side views, so I'm thinking mainly aerial with a little perspective)

Do it like how the N64 Smash Bros. did it with some of their items: 2D sprites that stay the same look no matter how much you move the perspective, whether it's an aerial view or a isometric view.

Oh, Popcan, is it ok if I make this? You said that you might make a chess game, but I wasn't sure how interested you really were.
I love board games and chess and stuff, so I would love making this, but you called it first, so if you want to make it, let me know.

I said it before, and I'll say it again but very late.
I really want to see this happen.
My only question is how are you going to pick the powers or points or whatever?
If it's a rock paper scissors type thing like fire emblem, im guessing im a rock.

What?
This is chess.
There is no rock paper scissors.
The disappointing thing is how many people have already changed their avatar.

I thought we were going with the way that characters have different powers or abilities or something, then you said this
one of us is confused
and i think its me
and then points was another way of doing it, and so is the rock paper scissors way which is in fire emblem.BobTheLawyer wrote:Automatik, they won't have set different characters, but each side could draft different characters. It allows for more strategies and tactics.

Yes it is you.
The points system was drafting characters for your team.
The powers were what a piece did on the chess board. Does it move straight, jump somewhere, make other peices, etc.

Each character is worth a set ammount of points.
Each player has x points.
They pick pieces to put on their team.
They lose that characters points and they keep picking until they have no more (or nothing to buy).
