If you can improve anything about this projects code, have a look into it

Online mode

If you'd like to make a multiplayer mode, by all means go ahead. A chat system and a lobby where players can find matches and play a game over the internet

General Improvements

James Elliot — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 03:36:11 -0000

There are some silly moves made by the AI, these need to be addressed accordingly, if difficulty is implemented, keep this in mind, maybe the odd silly move will be good to give the human a chance against an ever improving AI system

Difficulyy Levels

James Elliot — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 03:34:30 -0000

AI difficulty levels, Easy, Medium and Hard...

Have a look at the scoring system used to find AI moves, this can be altered to effect how hard the game is, GUI will need to be updated to include options, this CANNOT be done mid game, if it is, this will start a new game, please prompt user in this case.

Show the last move made by AI

James Elliot — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 03:32:59 -0000

We want board locations (eg A-H and 1-8) and we want to show the last move made, eg A1 to F2 (take) or A2 to C2

So the user knows where the last move was made...

A common question when playing with another person in chess is "Where did you move?" if they miss the move...

This created confusion in the game in the first version

DragNDrop

Drag a Drop when moving a piece. When testing with external tester players, most of these people went to drag and drop, not realizing that you have to click, it shows which square you can move to, then click which square to move to.

The squares highlighted which move can be made can be kept in easy mode(when that is implemented) to show novice users of the game how to play and where they can legally move.
