I want to make chess in makecode… MAKECODE CHESS! :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :bat: :duck: :snake:
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?)

Name: Frog
Moves： Basically jumps over pieces like a knight but only 1 space
Should be a basic, cheap unit (like a pawn alternative)

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.

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
