Otsikko: Re: Chess variant page, with programs And Dark Chess program request

Pegniar: Thank you for the link. A small correction is needed as it is Kevin Hill that invented the Embassy Chess and you have it as K. Hill.

I am curious if you will make a program to play Dark Chess? I mean a program that will let two people play Dark Chess, not a program to play Dark Chess against, though that'd be cool too though to make it fair you'd have to have the board set up elsewhere and tell the machine what it sees as I do not trust the inner workings of the machine to not cheat and be looking at the position. It is this that makes Dark Chess different than other forms of Chess, the players have restricted information and different views of the board. Seeing the other person's view ruins the game. That is why when you view a game in progress here on BrainKing the board is blank for everyone but the players. You'd have to have a secure blank button on the program I want created to cover such looking while an opponent left the room for some reason or even just an accidental viewing that neither player would want to have happen.

I would like to play Dark Chess live against a person in person. It'd take two monitors hooked to one computer. The computer would not have to know anything about playing, just keep track of the pieces and displaying the correct information to each player. If the monitors were placed back to back, you could almost have a game like regular Chess with the feel of playing Battleship and hidden information. A third monitor away from the players could show all three views of the board and let kibitzers follow along with the action. Embellishments to such a program would be different displays a player might want, 2D, 3D, Chess clock, speculative piece placement, and other things that I'm sure people that play the game have thought up, but just the basic game itself would be a great thing to have.

If you're interested in this and are not familiar with Dark Chess, please write me and we can set up a few games to let you see how it is played. There's many of us here that play Dark Chess that would like to be able to play the game at home or in a club, but there's not any available software for it, or the rules are not as they are here as it seems Dark Chess is hard to program just to display the game as compared to having the program play the game. "Lawless" has expressed much interest in someone making this a project. I'm sure we could help you test it out, make suggestions, and find bugs for you.
