Im trying to develope a chess like game that has completly random setup for both sides in a 'starting zone'... ive looked at many puzzles and other games that have ?players to get some ideas as to how to do it...though i sorta kinda get it, i havent been sucessful yet.... so, if any of you Z-niuses out there can come right out and tell me, this is what i need.... ...say that white startzone is the first 2 rows of a 10x10 board... ...say that when the zrf starts, all the pieces are choosen by a ?player and set to fill the startzone... the pieces to choose from are, lets say, the standard chess pieces (with the king already placed on the board...and no multiple kings) how do i get white and black to completely set up and hand normal play to the players.... (i know its prolly a drop or create issue) (im a little sketchy on how to implement the drops...specially in a random 'inzone' fashion... my game is complete, i just need to insert this ramdom deal into it.... please help! thanks alot!! | ||

Take a look at Bobby Fischer Chess (http://zillionsofgames.com/cgi-bin/zilligames/submissions.cgi/75412?do=show;id=378). It pretty much already does what you are asking for. You may want to add tweaks to control the contraints on the demographic distributions generated. Good luck! -MLW  | ||
