My Java port of GNU Chess is now available at a new domain name www.chessbox.org, which is just a redirect to www.forthgo.com/chessbox/. The tagline for chessbox is “a collection of chess pieces” allowing it to be a home for various open source chess programs that I (or friends!) might port/derive/create as time and interest allows. The Java port of GNU Chess is now called “chessbox_gnu4j”. If you’ve got a better name, I’d like to hear it.
The code is released with the same license as GNU Chess, GPL. I’m not sure if I had a choice in the matter since it is clearly a derivative work of GNU Chess.
Yup, the project compiles (only changed the JDK) and the jar is executable on its own anyway. I’ll challenge my brother to an online game tomorrow evening
Thanks, Anli. I noticed that IDEA had put the JDK path in my project file, so I’m glad it didn’t cause you any trouble.
