Makecode Chesstopia!

[Zenith]

I want to make chess in makecode… MAKECODE CHESS!
I don’t know how to code this…
BUT…
I can make art…
Here is what I am suggesting… People can make there own chess pieces and submit the ideas to me and I will draw them… If sombody wants to help with the code they can! I want this to be a BIG collaboration! Everyone who submits can have a character as long as it fits these guide lines…
Number 1: No multiple moves for each piece. If a queen had two moves, it would take out the king pretty quickly…
Number 2: At least TRY to make it seem senseical*
Number 3: Each character will be unlockable.
Number 4: Nothing too OP.
By the way…
This game will have levels, slowly getting harder as you progress. (Is it possible to do that?)

Is sensicall even a word?

[RobbyZero]

Id love to help code I can’t promise I’ll be very good but this seems like a project I want to be in

[Luke]

Name: Frog
Moves： Basically jumps over pieces like a knight but only 1 space

Should be a basic, cheap unit (like a pawn alternative)

@Zenith

senseical

I think the word you’re looking for is logical lol

[Zenith]

Do you want to help make some of the art?

[Zenith]

Everyone, I wil be a little bit less active on the forum becuase it is taking up a lot of my time. I am not leaving the forum I will just not respond to things as much. Just because I will be less active doesn’t mean that progress on this game will stop.

Thank you for your time,
Zenith out.

Lion Piece (Tier 3)

Moves like a King. Can capture 2 or more spaces cardinally.

[Luke]

Yesss
Can I also choose a palette?

[DangerNoodle]

snake
alternate for the queen, but it moves like this in every direction:

[Fryguy]

Name: Cane
Movement Style: Like a knight, but it can move frogs out of the way rather than skipping over them.

[Fryguy]

Oop! Pixelart’s too small…

There we go

[Zenith]

Yeah sure.

[marioeligi]

ok so
i can do pretty much anything (programming, movements etc)

EXCEPT ART

since Im trash at art lol
but i can do some programming, don’t expect me to do the whole game tho since i have school + other programming projects

1st idea (for pieces)
there’s variations of chess with a long knight
basically a knight that moves 3 space then over, instead of 2
like this:
normal:

long:

could be a replacement for regular knights
2nd idea
I don’t have a name but this is like a queen 2.0
so like
normal queen:

2.0 queen:

(basically rook + bishop + knight)
3rd idea
there could be like a knightknight
And it moves a knight’s path multiple times

so like this ^
(a replacement for knights)

also it wud be better if this had a saving system so u wudnt lose all of ur progress, like the pieces u earned

Snake Piece (Tier 3)

Moves like Rook, but limited to 3 spaces at max. Can capture in an L at any point in travel. This piece may sliver over pieces.

[InvalidProject]

Brigade Piece (Tier 2)

Moves like a Bishop, but limited to 2 spaces. Can capture like a Rook but limited to 2 spaces, and one square diagonally.

[InvalidProject]

Unicorn Piece (Tier 4)

Moves like a Knight. May capture as a knight, and can also capture in the moves of two Knights. This piece may only start capturing pieces when at least one Tier 3 of your troops has been captured.

[InvalidProject]

Brute Piece (Tier 1)

This piece may capture forward, and diagonally forward, along with directly backwards. This piece can only promote to a Tier 3.

[Luke]

Obelisk

Interesting as pieces can block the movement of this piece by standing in the X tiles

[Luke]

I’m gonna make a legend to make things easier to understand

Indicates capture or moving locations (most pieces will use this)

Indicates capture only locations (like diagonal pawn movement)

Indicates available moving location (only movement no capturing)

Indicates locations jumped over

Indicates tiles moved over (but not able to be moved on)

Indicates promotion location
Example

[NxNMatrixGL]

I seem to recall a makcode stream on chess .

[marioeligi]

Character: Mario!
the art would probably be like mario in grayscale, but closer to black/white based on side of the board he starts on
he starts off as super Mario, but other pieces can attack him, then return to their original spot
then he turns into small Mario and he can continue playing
maybe big Mario can capture/move more, small Mario moves/captures less
