Good thing I don't even know the default moveset of chess hahahaha! But hey good work with the game, I hope you have learned a lot in this jam.

Agreed with Gryph, the pieces do not appear to be randomised, thus does not quite fit the theme,

Regardless, it's a Chess game without Check/Checkmate. You deserve some points for recreating it as you did. Should you take this further, it could be interesting!

As I said to Glyph I did add them. Perhaps not having original moves in at all would have been better. It's not the pieces having random moves, it's whole new movesets I designed for each piece. But I made the chance for them to show up too small as I had to reduce my scope.

I think fixing the chance of them showing up, or removing the original moves entirely would have made the game better.

Game did not match theme (chess pieces did not have random moves like claimed). I like the idea, however.. it wasn't implemented.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. There is a chance that all of the pieces will have the default chess moves, maybe try again?

I did impliment different moves, there's just a higher chance of the default moves as I had to reduce scope due to time. I can assure you they are there, it's just 33% chance of showing up.

Ah, my apologies. Unfortunate luck I guess. I played about 5 matches but it was default everytime.

Yeah I planned to have 2 movesets different from default, but I only managed to impliment 1 for each piece. Unfortunately my code still gets a random number between 0 and 3 and sets everything but 1 to the default moveset.

I do plan to add and improve this game though. I want to add the movesets I planned, as well as make check and checkmate function properly.
