Hey hey, appreciate the comment and glad you liked the game. Since the focus was about escaping, I didn't want to give a direct way for the player to capture the other pieces, although I had some ideas I did not have time to implement :'(
Regarding the random movement, unfortunately didn't have time too make a smarter AI! Just the simple idea of the AI moving depending on their current position on the board took me long enough, and wasn't able to solve two of the bugs you listed...
My only two bugs, but for some reason, when I inputted a smaller timeframe between plays, you would only be able to move once and the game wouldn't let you move anymore... don't know how that happens, but was the only way for me to make the game actually work to be able to submit it.
Regarding two pieces being in the same exact spot. Also didn't had time to correct that issue :')
Thank you for playing and the comment!
