Prototype was really easy to make, now I can go to more serious things like advanced texture mapping techniques (normal, specular and shadow) and some other graphical effects.
Prepare to be scared ;)

Labyrinth of Restlessness prototype
That one was kind of quick. My "engine" is getting more and more programmer-friendly. Today I've added diffuse texture support (after 2 months, believe?!) and did some fixes and little additions.

Chess engine?
Yeah, I was thinking about connecting some chess engine to my game. Of course, I want to have a Player vs CPU option so there must be some AI. I had 3 ways to do it:
I really don't think writing my own AI would be a good idea, it's a problem for a month alone. I just want to make a chess game, why breaking a open door?
There's a lot of ready-to-go chess engines over the Internet. It's a small, individual program that can make a chess decisions and communicate with a chess GUI by standard system pipes. Personally I think that it's the best idea - I just need to write some communication protocol based on the UCI or something. So I take a look over the Internet. OMG. After hours of searching I've found the article that describes this problem best:

And my reaction was:
OK, so here's my try. I've found this:
https://github.com/tobijk/simple-chess
Yesterday I've made a Player vs Player possible version, so adding a CPU option to this should be quite simple. Today I'll try to connect these functions above...
- Write my own chess AI algorithm
- Use a freeware chess engine
- Find some simple open source chess game and copy/paste game logic from it.
