About the game
Korean chess, where Cho (楚) and Han (漢) battle over the palace. Cho moves first. Before the game, each side picks its setup (Ma-Sang-Ma-Sang, Sang-Ma-Sang-Ma, Ma-Sang-Sang-Ma, Sang-Ma-Ma-Sang). Chariots, cannons, horses, elephants, guards and soldiers, the diagonal moves inside the palace, the cannon's jump rule, and check and counter-check (janggun and meonggun) are all implemented. Checkmate wins, and the same position appearing three times is a draw. At 200 moves, the game is decided on piece points (Han gets a 1.5-point bonus). When bikjang (the two generals facing each other) is called, the opponent must break it right away; if they can't, the game is decided on points. Play the computer (Easy, Normal, Hard) or play with two players on one device.
