Notes/Assumptions

Assumptions or Simplifications:

• json file contents
  • keys are present, keys are named correctly, the existence of a data/chess/locations, data/chess/pieces, data/chess/rules, data/chess/locations, and data/chess/powerups directories,
• White always goes first and is at the bottom of the screen
• Upon a reset, the game reverts to default settings
• The user only speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian, or German

Interesting data files:

• data/chess/variantKillPawns - kill 3 pawns to win the game
• data/chess/variant4PawnLocations - move 4 pawns to the 4 left most squares on the 4th row from the bottom to win the game
• data/chess/Stalemate - test out stalemate my moving the bottom right rook to the left

Known Bugs: *

Noteworthy Features:

• Multiple different type of checkmates - regular, eliminating a list of pieces, positioning certain pieces in specific locations
• multiple different type of powerups - promotion, timer bonuses
• All types of chess moves (checking, en passant) are functional
• An editor mode that allows for the user to freely add and remove pieces on the board
