Two player chess game built with React js.
- Pull the project and
cd
into it - Install packages with
npm install
- Finally
npm run start
, which will start hot reloading, and fire up browser with https://localhost:3000/
The components boilerplate structure consisting of Game, Board and Square is same as of Facebook tic tac toe tutorial.
ES6 classes have been used for chess pieces. Piece
is a parent class to which King
, Queen
, Bishop
, Knight
, Rook
and Pawn
extend. Board of squares is filled with these pieces and null
.
Game
component maintains the board of squares filled with pieces, and handles turn and move of both players.
Each piece implements isMovePossible(src, dest)
and getSrcToDestPath(src, dest)
methods which Game
uses to identify legality of move and to render UI accordingly.
- Implement a method in
Game
that returns true if this move exposes the player's king to check. Use it to disallow the move and inform user. - Write unit tests
