Chess 3D

This is a 3D Chess game using C, OpenGL, and SDL. I initially built parts of it while i was studying OpenGL, but then i extended it to be able to use it as my informatics "Atestat" exam project. Now it is functional, and has a simple Artificial Intelligence. The documentation that i originally submitted to the Atestat can be found here: .pdf , .djvu (hungarian).
