FlyingChess

# Flying Chess Rules ## Game Mode - The player selects one color from Red, Yellow, Green, or Blue. - The other three colors are controlled by robots. - Turn order is Red -> Yellow -> Green -> Blue, then repeats. ## Controls - Press `R`, `Y`, `G`, or `B`, or click the color indicator to select the player's color before rolling. - Press `Space` or click the dice button to roll the dice on the player's turn. - Press `1`, `2`, `3`, or `4`, or click a piece to move the corresponding piece. - Robot players roll and move automatically. ## Takeoff - A piece in its home base can only take off when its color rolls a 6. - On takeoff, the piece moves from its home slot to that color's outer path start. - Outer path start points: - Red: `Waypoint_0` - Blue: `Waypoint_14` - Green: `Waypoint_28` - Yellow: `Waypoint_42` ## Outer Path - The board has 56 outer path points, numbered `Waypoint_0` through `Waypoint_55`. - Every color moves clockwise along the same outer path order. - Each color owns a 14-point color section. - The color section starts two points before that color's takeoff start point. ## Safety Path And Finish - After completing one full outer lap, a piece enters its own safety path. - Safety path entrance is two points before the color's takeoff start point: - Red enters after `Waypoint_54` - Blue enters after `Waypoint_12` - Green enters after `Waypoint_26` - Yellow enters after `Waypoint_40` - Safety path nodes are named in order, for example `Safe_Red_1` through `Safe_Red_5`. - After the last safety path node, the piece reaches the center finish. ## Collision Rule - After a piece finishes moving on the outer path, the game checks whether that destination path point already has pieces from other colors. - Every opponent piece on that same outer path point is sent back to its own home slot. - Collision only happens on the outer path. - Pieces on home slots, safety paths, or the center finish are not collided with by this rule. - Pieces of the same color are not sent home by this rule. ## Robot Rule - Robots roll automatically on their turn. - A robot first tries to move a piece that is already on the board. - If no active board piece can move, the robot tries to take off when it has rolled a 6. - If no legal move exists, the turn advances automatically.
