Using programs like Unity, I believe that I would have to start from scratch creating the chess engine and then program my game to run in the chess engine. Do you know of any existing chess engines that are open-source that written in Unity or other language? There are many existing chess engines already out there, many of which are free to use. For instance, Jocly was a game engine (I think written in Java) that was open-source and free to use. But unfortunately for me, some hacker(s) completely trashed their server and put them out of commission.

I don't have the programming skills or the time to reinvent the game/chess engine. Zillions of Games chess engine is proprietary but its scripting language for creating the games is open-source. But I can't afford to buy a user license at $25 each for everyone to play the game either as an app on their computer or online.

So I hope to find a chess engine similar to Zillions that already exists and that I can use for my game that can be purchased for a small amount as a computer app and can be played online for free like the many traditional chess sites provide.

Do you know of any existing chess engines that are versatile enough to handle circular chess boards and can be played either stand alone on one computer or can be played online?

Thanks
