Chess

[Hexarobi]

I'm thinking of an addon that allows two people to play a game of Chess, from within WoW.

A nice graphical board with click to move play, with moves sent via a joined chat channel? or the new sendaddonmessage()?

Is this doable? Sound like a fun project to anyone? I'm willing to take a stab at it, but I'm new to WoW addons, not sure I'm up to the job yet.

Ok, So i spent the day messing around with this idea. I found some references to a Cosmos Minipack that doesnt include Chess, but mentions its been done. Anyone used this? Know where I can find it? I'm still messing with it as an exercise but taking a break for awhile, posting what I have incase someone wants to take a crack at coding rules.

Spent a few more days working on this idea. Still needs move validation but its a solid beta.

Looks amazing. It another one of those mods that is useless to WoW gameplay but so maticulously built its unbelievable. This has to be the best looking/running mod I've used to pass time at the AH. I can't wait for a finished product!

Why not? Looks good. Probably a good time waster playing with a friend while getting a group together, eh? Thumbs up.

Since the mod is in Beta, it has a new thread. You can find it here.
