A very basic web-app implementation of chess. Pieces have their basic move-set:
- Pawn: forwards one (two if at starting row) and can take forwards diagonally
- Knight: L shaped moves
- Bishop: diagonally
- Castle / Rook: vertical and horizontal
- King: 1 space in any direction
- Queen: any number of spaces in any direction
"Any direction" means directly vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
The goal is to take the other player's king while preventing them from taking yours. There are a lot of different playstyles and move combinations, so it may be useful to watch some examples on YouTube if you are a beginner.
As with my other basic webapp projects, all of the dependencies are included - you just need to run ./start.sh to open it.
