a good java chess program

[rico16135]

Anyone know of a good open-source java chess program? A google search returns applets. I'm just interested in viewing how its done right.

You are looking the code. ;)

If you are just looking for that, download the applets from their urls and decompile them to see how they work..

I am afraid those applets have been obfuscated.

I have one thing to clarify. If I download the applet, can I have class file there. I Mean are they allowed?

[sukatoa]

Yes, you may have them.... because they are in the specific url.... just like downloading .exe files or zip...

If and only if you know their URLs....

Open source is an excellent way to learn, but if you code the game yourself, maybe you can learn a few tricks you would not find in the open source. I wrote a chess game before from scratch. – Very challenging.

Good luck rico16135 ;)

Ya, working your own code always the best way to learn. What I see there is, people start work from the end level, just looking the code at once.

You might want to take a look at chess tournament games 1.e4, and at the bottom of the page, click on "javABChess program notes".

Thanks for sharing. However this is a very old thread, more than two years ago posted in the forum. :)
