Awesome :)

Thanks for accepting the port! FYI, full finished cc65-Chess for Oric (with intro and credits) is available at DF Oric forum.

I have no experience with, or really any knowledge of, Oric computers. I had to go build Oricutron. A whole new journey awaits me :) I have played your version of the chess though and it's beautiful.

The sad truth is that it's a pretty terrible chess "engine". Not long after I made it, I wanted to improve it by talking to someone that really plays chess. When I wanted to implement some things this person told me, I discovered that the game corrupts the GameDB. Since then I haven't gone back to look at it again but now that there are 2 really nice versions, I probably should.

I should probably also do something about the ugly C64 version ;) I am a little busy right now but I'll put all that on the list. Anyway, great job with the Oric version - it's really pretty.

I have a question. oric doesn't seem to be a valid target. If I set the target to telestrat it doesn't build with "Unresolved external 'BASHDR' referenced in: src/telestrat/oric.cfg(3)". If I set it to atmos, that does work. Is it okay if I rename the src/oric to src/atmos and rename the target to atmos or is there something I am missing about a supported target named oric?

There will be no problem with renaming 'oric' to 'atmos'! I didn't used 'atmos' because I wanted to make it clear that it's compatible with Oric-1 too ;). But in general and from cc65's point of view it's totally OK to use 'atmos'. The result will remain Oric-1 compatible. BTW, little change in 'readme.txt' is needed: make TARGETS=atmos OPTIONS=optspeed tap
