Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:

I was trying to learn how to make a chess engine using pygame in python by watching an YouTube tutorial, It was going nicely until I encountered an problem that the same code(which I couldn't make) was not working the same for me and there were no errors. only the Pawn code works and rest works only for black and broken for white.

i spent 2hr trying to find the error but i failed.

I'm going to sleep now otherwise would have answered your question.

#

A few pointers:

#

You could use a simple array based approach instead of classes.

#

Please refer to CPW (chess programming wiki ) for more information

#

you can also join this server which is specifically made for engine programming

#

Also if you're just starting out.

#

Follow Code Monkey king on youtube. great guy.
makes tutorials on engine programming.

#

I've followed him too

#

hope this might help you in solving your question

#

as for the bishop moves.

#

please check what happens a capture occurs.

#

or if the directions are correct or not.

#

or if you're correctly checking out of boards

#

which you could do very easily by using a 10x12 board
