Video

unless.... orange was white and white was blackXD

well, my mindset and life changed a lot after I started to work on small jobs, and I am spending time to rethink and convince myself what I should go for, and what work best for my gamedev joruney, currently making youtube video is not the essential part for me to continue as a gamedev, but it doesn't mean I will abandon this channel, I am just taking rest, learn new stuff and reset, and I will comeback to the channel with new ideas as soon as I am ready.

thank you so much, I will be back to make more original contents that I don't know if they'll work, however stay tuned. :)

Yeah, and en passant

I've tried to make a tutorial, but since making a Chess AI required intermediate knowledge of coding, so it's hard to make a tutorial than just talking about the algorithm I used, here's a video explaining the algorithm in my video. czcams.com/video/l-hh51ncgDI/video.html ... and there's a wiki that include everything of Chess AI too here. www.chessprogramming.org/Main_Page

I used Unity to develop the software, and Unity is game engine that allows to develop games for various of platforms included phone, however, you still need a computer to develop the app first, :P

@@TextGuy ok thanks dude:)

yup, I think this is a good way, I am still developing a Roguelike recently, will be back on YT with the new Roguelike I think, stay tuned :).

just call it "fe"

it's because I want to test my AI with chess.com, and their Queen and King are placed like that D:

@@TextGuy In a match against chess.com. White is your red and black is your white.. but when u played first matches it was white = white and red = black and the queen and king are in a wrong position in this situation. White king has to be always on a black square. Blacks should be on e8 on a white square.

Yeah, he made red as white and white as black

maybe I could just post the project next time :P

because it would take too long to explain the codes, and it's my first chess project it is not the best way of making chess AI, maybe I would make a pseudo-code example for tutorials :)

👍❤

Yeah, I need to atleast make some money to prove that game development do earn money, so I can have more freedom invest in gamedev, thank you, and good luck for your gamedev jorney as well. :)

@@TextGuy Thanks

Thanks, I would check it out when I am free. :)

I can relate. I think I need to simplify some elements of my game too. Either that or be a better game dev 🤣

I am planning to do some more informative contents about pixel art and game design, and trying to be more consistent of the upload speed. recently working on my freelance stuff, will bring more good content soon, appreciate everyone's support that gave me the reason to continue, thanks for sub :D.

@@TextGuy Looking forward to the new content

you are right, maybe because I have no idea what my generator would be, so I just made all the possible tiles. :P

@@TextGuy good point. Maybe a bit over engineered but as it does not take up processing and storage nowadays is virtually free. You should be good

because I've never consider the move generation to stop after someone lost, so it will still choose the move that would lead to a best advantage after 3 turn, even that both kings are captured.

@@TextGuy fair enough. Probably that is why Id not think of that. Because we humans, with out fleshy human brain implicitly expect the game to end

I'm actually try to made the video reach 10 mins, but it is actually unnecessary, just ignore that :p

Yup, actually after the video I found many good concepts being discussed in "Chess Programming Wiki", anyway that is a lot of information, maybe I will challenge myself to make a better AI in the future, idk :P

@@TextGuy Mine is just about done, I'll send you the GitHub link so you can check it out if you want! Please do, I'm very proud of it. It plays very similarly to yours, opening with e3 and then bringing the queen out followed by the Bishop, but mine has way better pawn structure as I explained, and never makes a mistake (unless such a mistake goes beyond its depth and is unpreventable when it is finally perceived). Also, I noticed some odd behavior at 5:32, unless it is looking only 2 moves ahead, it should have actually taken the bishop with its rook, because the queen protecting it is "overloaded." Meaning your AI would have been trading one rook for both a bishop and a knight, so that move is +1 in its favor. I obsessed over bugs like this with mine. Though from what I can tell, we both have like the best homebrew chess AIs on YT lol (well mines not on YT but its better than others that are). Other peoples' sucked and they didn't even notice or just didn't admit it. Like, CodeBullet's chess AI was a buggy mess that couldn't even beat a monkey.

@@tristunalekzander5608 @Tristun Alekzander that would be great to see yours, I recently have some other project to do, making chess AI are quite time comsuming, especially when I need to explain the concept in video. I recently dont have that much time to make a video about a more advance chess AI. I think the reason why that odd move is occurs is because my bad evaluation function that consider every pm(possible moves) as 0.5f , so... Black Knight = 3 + (3pm * 0.5f) Black Bishop = 3 + (4pm * 0.5f) White Rook = 5 + (9pm * 0.5f) So it negates the value of both piece. B = 4.5 + 5 W = 9.5 also after the queen move he gain 4 more pm. Which make the result actually a -2. I've a concept of decreasing the value of pm according to piece left on board to avoid this kind of situation where pm is more valuable than capturing piece. Thanks for your appreciation, there's is actually not much people did chess AI on YT, most of them just did the minimax then gave up. There's actually bunch of stuff that could be implement though.

thanks! your random? programs video seems great as well, we are just doing different fun stuff, wish you could gain more views and subs with your awesome content. :D

TextGuy dude I could say the same for you man just keep up the work you’ll make it big man!

MUSIC IN THE END: Roy - Lost In Sound

Pretty cool ideas! there are lots of interesting stuff of the mechanic that haven't been set yet, so I will go through all interesting ideas and concepts like yours, and make a balance and fun main mechanic from then. Thanks for your suggestion :D!

hmmm that's a great idea, I am learning of making some good particles effect like those in "Hallow Knight", I think I might do a video for particle in the future! feel free to subscribe :D !

Thanks :) , I am trying to make it look as good as I can. Anyway thanks for your feedback :D.

thanks for you support! :D

thanks for your feedback! :D

Yeah, I would take note for your feedback, by the way, I not sure if I have to make a discord, since I don't find a very good reason, also I have too less subscribers. I would consider making a discord in the future :)

thanks for you feedback! :D

I actually have lots of idea for this game, but I am not going to continue this series, as there are too many indies making top-down roguelike games, so I will be focus on other type of game first, maybe I will continue it in the future, but not now, thanks for your support :D

@@TextGuy shame, I'm actually making a top down rpg with meaningful choice elements. If you want to do any collab videos let me know, I work with a few devs presently, we just completed a couple of challenges. Let me know 👍

@@XanderwoodGameDevsounds cool, I don't have a proper plan recently, I'm spending time defining my target, and trying to learn more stuff, kinda lost actually. anyway, feel free to add me on dc, I'm happy for any good collab. (TextGuy;#2308)

@@TextGuy hey, sounds good. The link is discord.gg/WYWKNJrn

for the border you mean the grass & tree? Because I personally think that it is better that the enviroment are not rigid, But it seems like a problem if the enviroment are all moving, I will find a fix for that, thanks for your feedback :)

@@TextGuy I meant the grid between tiles, it seems to be moving along with the trees and grass (or is that just an optical illusion?)

Hmm the border never move in the scene, maybe it is optical illusion, I might look the reason for it.

Okay, will take note of that, I will find a way to emphasize the creature unit, appreciate your feedback! :D
