hi I'm looking for some Source code for a chess game to help illustrate some of the fundamental code for making a board game.

i have read that and im pretty good its just that with this game there is some weird rules that are hard to illustrate through code or to translate into code (well DM source code) i have programmed it into c but im having problems adapting it into DM cause i dont know what i will have to program from scratch and what byond provides for me

i.e. how to make a new window pop up with the board on it without making a 1000 map layers and without having interfere with other peoples games

If you're good, you shouldn't need a chess source. [s]I totally believe that you have read the guide[/s], and that is all that matters, correct? But just in case...

well thanks, so if all of you are in the pointing mood can someone point me in the direction of how to find out how to associate two similar objects in a linear formation (i.e. on the square next to it) excluding diagonal as one group that combine there porperties (i.e. there circumstances of capture)

jeez it took me 2 years of revising and beta testing to get the c program to where it is today and i know about as much byond now as i did c when i started it. so any help will be greatly appreciated

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but get_step() is a good place to start.

Using a statement like "var/obj/piece/P = locate() in get_step(A,EAST)" will set P to the piece to the East of A (or null if there is no such piece). 'course you'll have to check that said piece is the same color.

If each direction doesn't need its own special code, you can set up a list to loop through the 4 cardinal directions relatively easily:

obj/piece
    var/team = 0
    proc/getNearby()
        var/list/nearby = list()
        var/list/dirs = list(NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST)
        for(var/d in dirs)
            var/obj/piece/P = locate() in get_step(src,d)
            if(P && P.team==team) nearby+=P
        return nearby
