Chess System

Inspiration

I like playing chess and had no idea of anything coming into the event.

What it does

How we built it

I've built this myself in about 5 hours of time, due to having to leave at around 19:45 and not being able to return the next morning. Just used Python and used the terminal as a TUI

Challenges we ran into

I didn't have much time to build it, so its incomplete at the time of writing this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I managed to get a lot of move validation working and custom board sizes and piece filling which was nice.

What we learned

What's next for Chess System

Fully completing it, then adding more silly things but potential for actual improvements as well Some ideas:

• Auto-playing a random valid move after 10 seconds of not making a move. Because why not
• Being unable to move certain pieces on specific triggers (piece captures multiple pieces in a short amount of moves)
• Adding custom pieces
• Adding custom starting setups
• Database to store games played
• Player list stored and stats tracked for players

Built With
