Chess on an 8x8x8 board (512 squares)

[dachessdude]

Hello - long time lurker here!

A looong time ago (has it really been 30 years??!) in college I wrote a text based application in Pascal for an 8x8x8 chess board. The idea was that you could play on any plane x,y,z axis and move pieces between boards / axis. I was a bit obsessed with chess at the time as it was the middle of the Kasparov / Deep blue matches and that really sparked my interest.

Fast forward to 20 years ago. In grad school I was trying teach myself Java. Since I still had the code I thought a fun way to do this would be to convert the old pascal application to a Java Swing application. I added play over the internet, 3 types of chess pieces, 3 levels of AI, some decent (for me) graphics etc. I put it out as freeware and somewhere around 13,000 copies were distributed.

And now we're at today and I ported to yet another platform. (This time Android). I converted the app again and now I'm looking for feedback / testers. I have no intention of making this a commercial app. I'm just trying to keep my skills sharp and have something to show off in a portfolio.

Any interest?
