Started writing an Chinese elephant chess game, ended up with a normal chess game, well, here is a snapshot of it: MElephant-0.1b.zip. It’s ofcourse in pre-beta, but seems quite stable while playing. Tell me what you think? I sometimes even have a problem beating it at easy, though it seems to be a bit eager to stalemate itself… I can probably make a mac and linux version too due to the use of the LGPLed Qt 4.5 for the tiny UI for it, and boost for the rest (including the written from scratch ai library and rules-library). It uses simple alpha-beta pruned minimax for the searching for now.

I will make it play Xiang qi aswell soon I think, it was designed to be able to do both.

Have fun
