TriangularChess
This is a Chess game with a board consisting of equilateral triangles. The movements of the pieces are taken from the previous TriangleChess game that I built. However, the pawns are restored to having a double-move to start, and pawns can no longer attack straight forward. At the urging of the players with whom I tested TriangleChess, there is now a queen piece available at the start.
To play this game in a sort-of "multiplayer" (will require the use of a computer or a connected keyboard), when the white player plays, text the 3-letter code in the bottom left corner to the black player. The black player types the code in on the bottom right corner of his screen. Then, after the black player makes a move, the black player needs to text the 3-letter code on the top left corner of the screen to the white player. The white player then needs to type in that code into the top right corner of his screen.
Update: on a recommendation of one of my game testers, the white pieces now just have a thin black outline instead of a black square background. However, this change resulted in white triangles hiding the white pieces, so I needed to change the color scheme of the board. A further update arose that the rooks failed to attack down and to the right, so I fixed that issue.
Update 2: The new version of the game has text on the left side that acts as a button where you can press it to get an even smaller version of the TriangleChess board. (This smaller version is more consistent with what chess players can expect, as you can play the game with older strategies where the first player and the second player making a mirror of each other can have two pawns immediately in front of each other with that starting double-pawn move.) Other parts of this update include solving a problem in the previous version that didn't get rid of captured pieces properly.
