Very cool programming question.\n\nWriting a computer program to simulate 8 chess pieces, all queens moving about according to the rules of chess is an interesting problem.\n\nA simple approach would be to randomly populate the board with 4 white and 4 black queens. Then randomly pick a queen, and search along the 9 directions it can move. If you find an enemy queen capture it. If not, check each of your remaining queens for capture possibilities. If there are no captures search for a move which will set you up for a capture on the next move.\n\nNow repeat this for the other side.\n\nKeep looping until either one side wins, or moves repeat more than say ten times.\n\nGood luck!

c or c++ are usually used for game programming, but any language can work, if they're supported on your intended target platform (windows, unix, etc.) and provide the features necessary for your project (access to accelerated graphics, for instance).\n\nat http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article892.asp you can find an (in my opinion) pretty good article on how to move into game programming: start with simple things, add complexity as you go.

If you just want to make games you can try GameMaker (http://www.gamemaker.nl/ ). It's free and easy, much easier than learning how to make games with languages like C++ or Java. However, it is made for 2D games so you couldn't do much 3D stuff. \n\nIf you want to learn C++ then http://www.zeuscmd.com/ might help.\n\nFor Java you can try Sun's Java Tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

Game Maker\nVery little programming, drag and drop plus a free version with the ability to upgrade if you like it and want more features.

If you go to PCB Express on-line, you can download some simple graphical type programs to design a schematic and do a board layout for a prototype board.  You enter credit card information and in a few days, you will have three prototype boards mailed to you.  You then populate them and solder it up.  This is only one of several services to do this.  It works pretty well, assuming that you are willing to do the work yourself.  \n\nIf not, I would make a flowchart on paper of what you want the circuit to do and submit it to an electronics or robotics on-line site or message board for help, go talk to a teacher or professor, etc.

I like  this question because answering it I found  out this totally cool thing. The table top game of "Go" board is not square!\n\nIt is usually a rectangle about 15 x 14 in proportion. Almost square, but 7 percent longer on one side.\n\nSome boards are a 19 x 19 grid, others are 17 x 17, 13 x 13 or even 9 x 9 for shorter games!\n\nThe boards were traditionally made out of a thick block of wood, with a hollow pyramid carved into the underside for strength and to make it sound better when the pieces (black and white stones) are placed.\n\nIt is also cool to find out that the black stones (kinda shaped like M&M candies) are bigger than the white ones. Thanks for asking a question which taught me more about a cool game.
