With ChessCE, will you beat your CE at chess?
Posted by Xavier on 9 October 2016, 19:36 GMT

ChessCE

Just a few days ago, Matt "MateoConLechuga" Waltz, very active community member, especially on the TI-eZ80 series, recently uploaded a beautiful chess game for your TI-84 Plus CE / 83 Premium CE, aptly named ChessCE.

Now, chess games on TI calculators aren't as common as your typical quadratic solvers, but they certainly are popular - the most famous of all probably being the TI-68k/AMS TI-Chess, by Thomas Nussbaumer and Marcos Lopez, with more than a quarter million downloads so far! Will ChessCE be that successful?
Well, like TI-Chess, in addition to being able to play with two people on the calculator, you can play against ChessCE's built-in AI, which makes it quite an interesting game duringbetween class or whenever else. In fact, you can even let it play against itself and just watch.
Oh, and of course, games can be saved and loaded back :)

As usual with Mateo's programs, the C source code is available so that everyone can learn from it!
Enjoy, and may the best player win!

Wow! This looks cool. When I get my hands (paws?) on CEemu and a CE rom, this will be one of the first games I will download. To bad I don't have a CE. This appears to be better than anything I have posted (bear in mind that I only code in TI-BASIC). If the speed is really like in the gif animation, then this is really an amazing feat of calculator programming! I am not sure how hard it will be to beat this thing (the ez80 is nothing compared to a modern smartphone cpu). Also, the idea of the calc playing against itself seems cool (this can be used for stealth-entertainment during class). Long live MateoConLechuga and the calculator community!!! Can't wait for more!

Merthsoft, do you do all of mateo's sprites? From the screenshots I have concluded that your sprites are really valuable art!

I have Ubuntu OS and I run tilem2 emulator with TI-84-PlusCe.ROM. I downloaded both of the TI chess binaries (Tichess and chessCe) but I don't know how to load them. In the emulator there are "send file", "recieve file" and "link cable" menu items.

I don't think Tilem2 supports the TI-84 Plus CE calculator. You need to download CEmu from https://github.com/CE-Programming/CEmu
