Micro Entertainment Pack: Micro Chess
About
This game is part of the Micro Entertainment Pack, a collection of tiny desktop games I developed for fun.
Just chess. Move pieces and try to beat our fiendish AI, or play in two player hotseat. N.B: To promote a pawn to a Knight rather than a Queen, hold the shift key while moving the pawn to the promotion rank.
- Classic Chess gameplay, with three AI difficulties.
- Play as black or white pieces.
- Powerful highly-skilled Chess AI powered by Littlewing, which gets over 2050 ELO.
- Two player hotseat mode to play your friends.
- Unlimited undo to track where you went wrong, and history displayed in Algebraic Notation.
- Tiny, unobtrusive graphics and Micro Mode - The game only occupies a fraction of your screen real estate, and can even be displayed in half size on high DPI displays, making it perfect for discreetly playing at work or while watching something on your computer.
Currently I prioritise mac binaries, as that's the only platform I play these games on, but am also building for other platforms (they will be up in February). They are written in Rust and have a dependency on C libraries SDL2 and SDL_gfx.
