Double Castling[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Well, there won't be any copy-paste solutions to implement an entirely new
form of castling, that is for sure. You would have to be able to understand
existing code in order to modify it.

When 'Simple' is finished, I might extend it to do a few Chess variants. I set it up in such a way that any move can be a promotion or an e.p. capture (i.e. the internal move format specifies 3 squares, the usual from- and to-square, plus an e.p. square that would also be cleaned out, but can also be used to indicate how the piece should be upgraded after the move). This makes it very well suited for 8x8 variants that would involve pieces that can do double captures, such as Mighty Lion Chess and Werewolf Chess. I might put in double castling then as well.
