Project: Hero Chess
Version: 1.1





NOTES:

If you want to know how I did anything, just ask.  I'm not as experienced as so many others out there, but I try to help as much I can.






GAME DESCRIPTION:

Just another chess game, except with a twist... in 3D with animated models and a few primitive effects!  The AI isn't very good.. in fact it's horrible.  I didn't even plan on putting AI in, in the first place, but did so near the end.  It's enough to test out the game without having to play by yourself.  If you find any bugs, then it's most likely with the king-checking, stale-mating, or check-mating.  Other than that, if the game crashes because you went fullscreen then delete the file settings.cfg to remove the saved video settings. Do NOT manually edit that file.  The fact that it's in binary should already be a warning.
