Could you please advise me how I could accomplish those with Zillions.
Regarding a chess variant, I'd like to have a piece that
1. can NOT be captured by the King at all.
2. another piece that normally moves 2 squares each side, but if there's a King at 3 squares away, then it can capture the King. In other words, exceptionally, that piece can capture the King even though he's 3 squares away.
Thank you very much for your help |

The first would actually be handled in the King's movement. The simplest way to do this is to make an additional check at your add. For example:
(define King-move
(
$1
(verify empty?)
(King-add)
)
)
(define King-capture
(
$1
(verify not-friend?)
(verify (not-piece? Golem))
add
)
)
The answer to 2 is similar.
(define Golem-move
(
$1
(verify empty?)
$1
(verify empty?)
$1
(verify not-friend?)
(verify (piece? King))
add
)
)
Both of my examples are pretty much lifted from my Duggan's Fantasy Chess available at http://www.chessvariants.org/index/zillions.php?itemid=zDuggansFantasyC
I have a piece, the Golem, which can only be captured by specific pieces and so happens to move two spaces in one situation, or three in another. |
