Laser Chess

[SLS10]

You would think with that many plays, it would show up in a search. Btw, you're comparing move logic between 2 completely different games. In chess, pieces only have to move. In my game, they can move, rotate, and fire lasers. Perhaps that lead to me taking a different approach to the logic. Do you know if he posted any info on how he made his level?

Chess pieces also have to have their movement blocked, and the capture mechanic also exists.

Here, I'll even show you how I'd handle this: Have a display on the screen that says what the player can do, i.e. 1 Movement Left + 1 Rotation Left. When the player selects a piece to rotate it, allow them to rotate it in place before making their decision on whether to rotate it left or right. Manual thinking - that is, fiddling with a piece while you're deciding what to do with it - is always a great thing to implement, which LBP Chess does.

I've already done that with the move function; I'll see what I can do with the rotate.

Update: revised the control system for the red and blue cursors. They no longer wrap around, but the controls are a lot smoother. Still researching the rotate preview function.
