Knight's Tour is an old chess challenge where you try to land on every square of the board only once. This video game rendition adds some bells and whistles to that basic premise.

Instructions:

D-Pad=Move Knight; [A]=Confirm;[X]=Exit; (More Help In-Game)

Notes:

The code is formatted and heavily commented with several different ways of accomplishing the logic illustrated. Written to assist learning.

It's too bad people haven't seen this; this is well made.

This is quite fun! It would be cool if the game detected when there were no remaining moves left. The ok, see you when you quit the game is a nice touch!

This is a really well done program! Too bad I'm not very good at it...

I feel the same way.

Thanks guys! Glad that you like it. Good suggestion about showing when you're out of moves. Also might be neat to sprinkle hidden power-ups under random squares. Extra time, free move, that sort of thing. I've updated it a bit since I posted the key, but am deep in another project right now so don't know if I'll get back to this one any time soon. It's mostly just code to help in learning the environment...me especially.

Oooh! I like! Imma download now.

I've modded this so that you can use the touch screen to move, was really easy to do actually; kuddos to your programming talent!

Cool mod! I tried to write it so it was easy to understand what was going on. Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying to get better, but usually have to do things the long way or I can't figure out what I did when I go back to it. That's why so many comments...haha

Tip: For The first two levels move around the outer edges of the board clockwise while spiraling inward. I usually get trapped on the 4th level, sometimes 3rd. :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to try again!

This game is awesome! I love chess puzzles, say, did you ever think of making a queen chess puzzle game?

Awesome!
