To be honest, I would prefur audio type chess.
Maybe a chime or bell for your peaces, a buzz for the other team's
ppieces, ofcause if you were on the other team, there could be a
reversed buzz or chime for that or it could be the same sounds.
I'd imagine you would do same as battleship with sapi having to type in
things as you went.
As for command line, I am unsure how you would represent the pieces
other than typing them out on full, and listing the board abc d e f g,
etc and tne numbers.
I am not sure how you would list it all without information overload.
If you need testers I can probably help, handle this game with you.
I am not a full chess player, though.

Hi, everyone. I'm taking a computer programming class, and one of my
projects is to develop a chess game rather than the graphical games my
classmates are developing. I'm trying to figure out the best format
for displaying the chess board. I have a couple ideas and want to get
your input on them. This game will be played right on the command
line. I have a couple ideas and just want to see which one you would
prefer, or if you have suggestions for other ideas. Here are the
options I've come up with. For either option, capital letters will
indicate white pieces and lowercase letters will indicate black
pieces. I can't think of a way to indicate the color of the square,
but I'll provide a way for the player to look it up if they're not
sure. The first way involves using |'s, -'s, and +'s to form squares
around each spot on the board. My worry with this is that there would
be a lot of output, and it might be confusing or irritating to
navigate through it all with a screen reader. The second idea I had
might look something like this, with .'s to indicate empty squares:
A B C D E F G H
1 R N B Q K B N R
2 P P P P P P P P
3 . . . . . . . .
Those are just the first three rows. It would be simpler to develop,
but I'm not sure how well it would work when playing. What do you all
think? Please also let me know if you have any other ideas. I would
really appreciate it if someone could answer this as soon as possible.
Thanks.
