Version 1.2
The original release was particularly weak.
I fixed a bug that meant that the AI didn't realize that the king could take it's pieces. Fixing this alone made for a much tougher game.
I added a small open book. I'll try and find a way to fit a larger one into the Pico 8s tight size limits.
It now searches ahead when there is a check allowing it to checkmate much more easily.
It has more refined logic to evaluate the board.
Still no match for the lovely Pico Checkmate but it's coming along nicely.
