Pre-released v0.3 - Special Move Update
Checker Chess » Devlog
What's New: Pre-released v0.3
This update brings the special moves in chess, such as castling and promotion. It also prevents the player from making moves that will result in a king capture.
New Features & Improvements ✨
- Castling: This allows you to move your king two spaces towards a rook, and then place the rook on the last space that the king passed.
- Promotion: If your pawn makes it all the way to the opposite side of the board, your chess pieces will be promoted to a queen, and your checker pieces will become a queen checker automatically. This will fix an issue where pawn and checker are stuck at the last row in the previous version.
- Check Prevention: The game will not allow any moves you make to break the rule not to put your own king into check.
This is a pre-release version. We're excited for you to try it out and help us refine the game as we work toward a full release.
