Pure javascript chess engine with computer opponent.
Improvements coming but it plays now. Source up on the webos-internals repository as soon as I can push it.
tap a piece that you want to move, tap the place to drop it.
sounds not working, options other than selecting computer color not working, but it does play (poorly)
you can use this to let two humans play each other as well.
have fun
the usual webos-internals MIT license applies. Original source was public domain. (credit in the source.)
Obligatory screen shot
installable ipk file (use sdk to install)
fixed icon
re_mover.cab
Version 03 now offers an about screen and a help scene. You can now win! The program now acknowledges a checkmate instead of crashing. improved icon again...
Choice of what to promote to is not yet working...
Looking at the code this does an a/b search to two levels in 0.01 to 0.1 seconds. We could easily go to three or 4 levels and improve game play.
However, regarding end-game, this programs end-game strategy is to win before the end of the game..... :)
Version 0.0.04 update Wed 22 July 2009
