APPLEIDE  Pretty solid for a very basic xiangqi game; However the chess pieces are quite hard to pick up, you have to click right at the centre... It'd be nice if they have a bigger foot print.

As the other reviewers said, hotseating, switching sides/board, bigger piece footprint, and undo would be great!

VALENS  There used to be a very good xiang qi implementation for OS 9, but not so much for OS X.

It'd be great if this can be improved further. First, an option to use the other side, not just the first-moving player. Multiplayer would be cool, even if it's just "hotseat" style (non-networked) games when I'm too lazy to break out the real board + pieces. Ability to save a game, when I can only play a few moves and need to go somewhere.

The drag-and-drop algorithm for pieces need to be fixed, because several times I've dropped a piece down, only to have it land to the immediate left or right of where I placed it. On some other occasions, I try to move a piece, only to end up moving a piece immediately next to it. Either fix this or implement Undo.

Movement of opponent pieces should be animated more, or there should be some other display of move history. Sometimes I can't even tell which piece the opponent moved.

In any case, a good first pass. The AI algorithm seems reasonable, but I'm a mediocre player.

8OO8  This seems to be a very basic, bare-bones implementation of the game xiang qi. It's you against the computer; however, there's no difficulty level setting and how well this game is programmed remains to be seen.

There's absolutely no information included. iXiangQi's website is totally devoid of info as well.

But Googling "xiang qi" brought up a good selection of sources for useful information including detailed rules/instructions.

There's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi and

http://www.clubxiangqi.com/, for example.
