This is our small university project which required us to make 4-Player based game.
We decided on 4-Player chess variant created from scratch in Java with JavaFX platform.
Hope You will enjoy it! 💚
It is a variant of chess which follows most of the standard rules like validating a move.
However, there are some small differences that were made with gameplay improvements in mind!
The game supports dynamic and aggressive playstyle for which player is awarded.
Despite the standard Chess Rules there are minor differences:
- The game is played on 14x14 board with 3x3 cut corners
- The pawn promotion line is behind the middle axis of the board
- If player is defeated their pieces are cleared from the board
- The game is played until there is last player standing
- Player gets points for capturing enemy pieces
- The player who has the highest score wins
Each piece has its own value that is added to the player score after a capture:
| Type | Value |
|---|---|
| Pawn | 1 |
| Knight | 3 |
| Bishop | 3 |
| Rook | 5 |
| Queen | 9 |
| King | 20 |
For the most part the game is played with the use of a mouse. However there are keys for:
- changing fullscreen mode (F)
- quiting the game (Q)
Huge thanks to the Fennyon for allowing us to modify & use his artwork as our piece assets.
The game needs a lot of testing so feel free to do it and give your feedback which is very welcome!
Hopefully I will furthermore develop this project in the future 🤩
