Why?

This project was inspired by I Made a BETTER Chess by Oats Jenkins. I thought it would be fun to make, so I made it. Though I started this project on my own, I've since had major contributions from others. If you're interested in the contributors, or want to become a contributor yourself, check out the GitHub Repository.

• Pieces

  • Fish

    • Can move one space in any direction except backwards
    • Can only take pieces on a diagonal
    • Becomes a Fishy Queen when moved to the end of the board

  • Elephant

    • Moves exactly 2 spaces in each diagonal direction
    • Takes only the piece landed on
    • Cannot jump over pieces

  • Rook

    • Can move to any free space on the board
    • Can only take pieces exactly 1 space from it horizontally or vertically
    • Pieces can only be taken by the Rook if a friendly piece was taken the previous turn

  • Monkey

    • Can move exactly one space horizontally, vertically or diagonally
    • The monkey can also swing over pieces
    • -If there is any piece of any colour where a monkey can normally move, it will swing over the piece
    • -This swing places the monkey on the other side of the piece
    • -As long as there are pieces to swing over, the monkey can swing forever
    • -If an enemy piece is on the other side, that piece is taken
    • -Monkey swinging ends when a piece is taken or when its space is double-clicked

  • Fishy Queen

    • Can move any amount in any direction horizontally, diagonally or vertically
    • No special conditions when taken

  • Queen

    • Can move any amount in any cardinal or diagonal direction
    • If captured, the player who captured it puts in jail on their right of the board

  • King

    • Can move one space in any cardinal or diagonal direction
    • If captured, the player who captured it puts in jail on their right of the board
    • Starts the game holding the banana
    • While holding a banana, the King can be saved by the monkey
    • If the monkey is adjacent to the king's jail space, the monkey can horizontal swing into the jail space, rescuing the king
    • The King loses the banana when this happens, and can never recover it
    • The monkey must be able to continue swinging after this or the king cannot be saved
    • This does not apply to the Queen as she does not have a banana

  • Bear

    • Can be controlled by both players
    • Starts the game in the center of the board, where D4/E5 intersect
    • Can move to D4, D5, E4 or E5 on its initial movement

    • Note: the Bear cannot take pieces, but can be taken and swung over.
