    i am a painter-photographer who's been working for several years on a new type of chess game that's played in colour. i managed to get a general idea on my website, but would appreciate if somebody could give me some help to make the game more interactive.(i'm fairly new to gamedesign)
    here's the link
    --played with coloured pieces
    http://www.theapplegallery.com/drag%20and%20drop+january11-transp.htm
    --played with little carpets
    http://www.theapplegallery.com/drag%20and%20drop+.htm
    --more info
    http://www.theapplegallery.com/chessgame/somebasics.html
    i managed to show things with the drag and drop system but need help with
    -(1)how could i put the pieces straight on top of the carpets?
    -(2)is there a way of counting the moves people make?
    -(3)any help or idea to make it more interactive
    -(4)i have seen somewhere a chess game in flash where the moves pieces made, where shown
    here's the link http://wickedgoodgames.com/flash3/chess.html
    could i use something similar ?

    the basic difference between this game and normal chess is
    that the nature of the game is not one of attacking but of helping eachother
    (i'm at present working (writing) on some form of play (story) where "WAR IS OVER" and the two clans are invited to a wedding (hence they need to get there as soon as possible)
    my initial idea was (still is)to play the game with coloured lights (additive colour)when for example (in the theatre)you shine red+blue+green toghether on the stage it will make white. so having 2 opposites would make a white light(RIGHT MOVE)), while for example green and red would create just another colour (-yellow) so (WRONG MOVE)
    the players need to find their opposite colour ( that could be made easy or difficult)+ you can change the whole setup

    over the years i have been applying different forms how this game could be played
    (for example the game with the carpets i made with the help of a whole village in india and works on the same principle- finding their opposite player) same as the other game with the coloured squares . i also used numbers to make it a bit easier to understand (opposite players need to make nr "7")


    the moves used are exactly the same as in chess (horse,bishop,etc...)
