|  VB Chess I need help. I am trying to write a chess game in visual basic. I thought that it would be challenging, but not this challenging. I know that it will take a matrix. I have the board set up with picture boxes, but it is going to take a lot of code for the actual gameplay. If anyone is willing to help in any way, that would be great.    |

| Will this game be a two human player game or one person vs.the computer game. If it is Human vs. CPU. Wow, good luck! My head hurts just thinking about writing the computer logic that determines the next move the CPU is going to make. || AMD Athlon64 3800+ Venice | Asus A8N5X s939 | OCZ Premier PC3200 Du-Ch 1GB | Sapphire X1600Pro 512MB PCI-e | 1xWD 80Gb & 1xWD 250Gb Sata(s) | Antec SLK3800B Case | Enermax NoiseTaker 485W || |

| Functional Alcoholic  | Here is a VB Chess Engine This might help get you started. I find it easier to learn something if I can see it working first. Looks like its just the engine so it will at least get you started. Here are some more http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...=6328&lngWId=1 http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/d...rce_code_info/ A google search will give you a bunch more.   |

| Human vs. human. the thing is, though, that i want it to show possible moves when each piece is clicked one time and the second click will move the piece. I think that I can do it. It will just take a lot of code. |

| If you're willing to use C++ instead, I've got some code here you could use for internet play. |

| Been a long time since I have done any C++... Guess I can try it. It is just easier to deal with the matrix in visual basic than in C++. I think that I actually have the apmatrix header somewhere tho. You can help me. I mean you live a whopping 1/5 mile down the road. lol. |
