Does anyone know how to make a chess minigame?

#1 Post by darkfanimewatcher »

I was introduced to Ren'py through Sunrider, the tactical space battle VN. I thought it might be the perfect software to make a VN about a chess tournament. I was able to find a few chess engines in Pygame on this site: www.pygame.org but I'm not a programmer and I'm not sure if any of them are usable with Ren'Py. Has anyone else tried anything like this?

You *can* import a game pretty much wholesale from Pygame into Renpy IIRC.

However if it were me, I'd just implement a chess minigame in Renpy directly.

It actually seems like Pygame functionality is broken in the current version. I guess I'll put this on hold for a while until I get better at scripting.

I thought you had to finagle something with CDDs to directly implement PyGame stuff in Renpy. I may be wrong however.
