The chess and checkers apps were chosen to create a universal tool for players interested in the two strategic board games - chess and checkers. By combining these two games in one application, we create a convenient environment for players who like to develop their logical and strategic thinking.
To implement the project, we decided to use the JavaScript programming language with convenient graphical tools, such as: HTML and CSS. I used the OOP paradigm to improve my skills and the ability to update
- combining two games in one project
- promotes the popularisation of logic and strategy games
- easy to use
- write in your terminal
git clone <https or ssh addres> - run HTML in a browser or using a server
You see the icons of chess and checkers, you can start the game!
In the project, the main module Main.js is responsible for listening to all the keystrokes of the user and creating a game board with pieces when the user selects the appropriate game.
To create board use:
board = new Board(boardContainer, START_POSITION.size, turnMoveImage)To add figure use:
board.addFigures()Start position
Figures.js collection is used to create instances of shape classes that have an abstract Figure class.
Start position
The starting position for chess and checkers is used - it is quite convenient and compact.
export const START_POSITION = {
positionChess:
'RNBQKBNR/PPPPPPPP/000000000/00000000/00000000/00000000/pppppppp/rnbqkbnr',
positionCheckers:
'C0C0C0C0/0C0C0C0C/C0C0C0C0/00000000/00000000/0c0c0c0c/c0c0c0c0/0c0c0c0c',
size: 8,
time: 300,
// ...
}A Game class and a Player class were created to create timers. When creating an instance of the Game class, 2 timers are created, which are instances of the Player class.
export class Game {
constructor(name, board) {
this.players = {
white: new Player(COLORS.white, board),
black: new Player(COLORS.black, board),
}
this.currentPlayer = COLORS.white
this.name = name
this.isPausedFlag = false
}
// ...
}There is a pause option so that players don't have to worry about time if they need to be distracted immediately.
