SimbeyChessThis game is not for everyone. Not everyone can handle a large game board with Chess AND Checkers pieces!I developed this game because I had always wanted to build a customized game board with pieces from other games. I wanted to build something that was both familiar and yet different. There is no game AI, so you'll have to find a partner to play this game, although it does support "hot seat" playing. You can also play this game over the Internet using a TCP/IP connection. This is actually my first multiplayer game, so I'm pretty proud of it! I wrote it to be a multiplayer game that I could play with Danielle, and I have never planned on adding an AI. I began writing this game in 2004, and I originally used DirectPlay for multiplayer support, but after hearing Microsoft's plans to discontinue DirectPlay I decided to use Winsock and run the game over TCP/IP. My initial reason for choosing DirectPlay was for the lobby support. The game boards for SimbeyChess are simple text files. You can edit them and build your own. The black units must be at the top of the map, and the white units must be at the bottom; that's the only limitation. Otherwise, use your imagination! If a game board is larger than the window, you may use the arrow keys to scroll the view. When playing a hot seat game, the game remembers the viewing positions separately for both players.
