Chess for Gameboy Classic

This is chess for the Gameboy Classic.

It is meant to be played with a friend, handing over the gameboy after each turn. (Or playing against yourself, I guess)

In addition to the regular gameplay, features include:

• a chess clock
• displaying the material advantage
• a replay mode.

Possible future features:

• a simple chessbot to play against
• link cable support

I created this from scratch in C with the GBDK 2020 development kit.

You can view the github project with the source code here.

I have NOT tested this on original hardware, so you will run it on your own responsibility.

I DO have tested it on several Emulators though and this version seems to run without any problems. If you have any problems / find any bugs, please open an issue on github with a short description what the issue is and how it occured, so I can try to recreate and fix it.

Have fun :)
