Builder

About

Builder is backend automation for quickly developing lesson content (currently only supports chess).

Builder is live here.

If a valid lesson is submitted, then it will be available on Square First Chess.

cd client

elm-app install

Must have Elm and create-elm-app installed (can also elm-app eject if you are more familiar with webpack).
- Current Elm version is 0.18.
- Current create-elm-app version is v1.10.4 (npm install create-elm-app@v1.10.4)

cd client

npm run dev

Need to be running dev-server (or point backend wherever).
If you have tmux and nodemon then you are also able to use the .tmuxrc automation: tmux source-file .tmuxrc

These are the steps that you need to take to make a lesson:

Use procedural generation to find original idea (either by clicking regenerate, or by moving slider).
Rearrange / optimize the board for the start of the lesson (Must be legal Chess position, i.e. Monarch who's team it is may NOT be in check).
Click Record Lesson.
Create a frame
- Fill in the default text with what you want to be displayed at the beginning of that frame.
- Optionally; click on squares to create discoverable content (Currently only supports valid moves for your team).
- Make move (Use Chess Api button for opponent).
Repeat frame creation until satisified with lesson.

Please remember that we are trying to write content that is optimized for the learner.

Use the Terraform script.

Integrate with chess api
