MEGA65-One Screen Mini Chess
A downloadable game
This is a Mini Chess in BASIC 65 for the MEGA 65.
The listing fits in one screen, programmed for MEGA65 One Screen Compo 2025.
If you want to play with English figure names, answer the "english fig" question with "y".
Because of the very limited program space (one screen), the chess is ridiculous simple and limited. Just test it and have fun! :-)

Unfortunately it stops when invalid input happens.
Nonetheless, a chess game is not what I expected to be possible with just 23 lines of code :-D
Respect!
Interesting experiment!
It does allow impossible moves, like Qd1f5, it fails to recognize when the king is in check, and it allows me to capture the king. :)
