chess logic ♟️ - draft

starting point is Board class - represents pieces on the chess board & holds all related state/actions for status, movement, checking, special-move-bar-info, etc.

board representation

state 🧠

The Board class will hold state:

• fields - array containing 64 Field objects that contain Pieces
• turn - which party is currently to making move (WHITE / BLACK )
• moves - stack to push/pop moves
• energy - special-move-bar energy progress for each party (0-100)
• ...

mutations 🕺🏽

& provide mutations:

• validate - validates a potential move
• move - pushes a new move on to the moves stack for the current party that has turn
• challenge - challenges the latest move on moves stack for the party that has turn. if validation of this move is illegal, latest move will be popped from moves stack & party that had turn prior to this move will have energy reset. if validation of this move was legal, the party that currently has turn will have energy reset.
• getPotentialMoves - gets all valid potential moves for a certain piece that stands on a certain field
• ...

initialization of board 🚀

• standard chess starting position of pieces in fields array
• turn assigned to white (dice roll will decide which gets white)
• moves empty stack
• energy set to 0 for both parties
