♟️ Fantasy Chess

This project is a CLI chess game that implements a set of fantasy rules instead of the traditional ones. It was originally created as my first university project and focuses on experimenting with the game’s core logic in a simple console environment.

🛠️ Installation & Run

Clone the repository and compile:

git clone https://github.com/aref-daei/fantasy-chess.git
cd fantasy-chess/src
gcc main.c -o chess
./chess

🎮 How to Play

The game runs entirely in the terminal. Moves are entered using a simple algebraic-like command:

Pc2c3

This means: move the Pawn from square c2 to square c3.

• The first character is the piece (P = Pawn, N = Knight, B = Bishop, R = Rook, Q = Queen, K = King).
• The next two characters are the starting square.
• The last two characters are the target square.

🪄 Fantasy Rules

This is not a standard chess game! The pieces move in a fun and creative way:

• Pawn: Moves only forward and backward, and can capture only the piece directly in front or behind.
• Knight: Jumps differently - one square forward and three squares to the side.
• Bishop: Can "fly" but is only allowed to move in the direction opposite to the side of the board it started on.
• Queen: Combines the movements of a bishop, knight, and rook.
• King: Never gets checkmated - in fact, there is no check or checkmate at all in this game.

👑 Main Difference from Classic Chess

This is a friendly and imaginative version of chess. There is no checkmate - everyone just moves around and captures each other!

📜 Notes

• This was my first university project, designed to experiment with both C programming and game logic.
• The main purpose is fun and creativity, not competitive chess.
• Contributions and forks are welcome-feel free to expand the fantasy!
