This is a nice concept! (By the way, found your game out of interest for Bevy. ;))

Funnily enough, I lost against Alice (who cheated once too?? Not sure what happened, she said something about an ‘error’ at some point), then stupidly lost in just some moves to Carl, then did beat Carl (who cheated once) at my next (and first real :p) attempt.

The variation on chess as ‘semi-chess’ is interesting too; I noticed the two players have non-coincidental bishops! :)

The whole pseudo-Cockney(?) renaming thing also got a laugh from me, especially when Alice snapped a nasty ‘chockmate’ at me . XD (Which is ironic since I suspect you are French, which does not give this accent at all. J’en sais quelque chose, des compatriotes ont fait saigner mes chastes oreilles. :p)

Thanks for the clever game!

Merci pour le message :)
I’ve never seen alice “cheat” ! I’m not too surprised though as the whole code is a mess typical of gamejams.

To be honest I kinda winged it when I decided to chop the board in half and name the game Choss ahah. I had a working implementation of real chess but I thought the game might be easier for beginners this way… Turns out the AI was still a bit too hard for new players !

Thanks for playing :)

I am not sure about what happened with Alice, but she definitely did say something about an ‘error’ or ‘mistake’. I think it was very close to ‘that must be an error’, and then something happened; if you look for the string in the code, you should be able to find out what this belongs to.

By the way, small tip: I noticed the spaces before the double-component signs (such as ‘!’ and ‘?’); English does not use them (and actually, several languages do not either!). This is another possible indication of Frenchness apart from the pseudonym. ;)

Godspeed!

IIRC Alice does say something like that when she (the AI) thinks you made a mistake ? But I’ve moved on to other projects so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And yes I tend to get the punctuation spacing wrong indeed (you guessed correctly, I am french :p)
