CheSSsk Library

Description

Still a WIP

A library for chess move validation based on location and board data.

• Set up new game
• Load game from database JSON string
• Export board data to JSON string for saving
• Get valid moves for pieces based on location
• Make only valid moves for pieces
• En passant
• King check and checkmate status updates
• Pawn exchange

Example Usage

• Creating a new game and getting valid moves for a location

  const chesssk = require("chesssk");
  const game = new chesssk();
  
  game.setupNewGame();
  
  let validMoves = game.getValidMoves("b1");
  console.log(validMoves);

• Load a game from database, make a move, and get new grid data in json string

  const chesssk = require("chesssk");
  const game = new chesssk();
  
  game.setGridFromJSON( db.jsonGameData );
  
  let moveResult = game.move("b2", "b4", db.enPassantString);
  let dbJsonStringToSave = game.getGridInJSON();
  
  // do database and client updates with moveResult object and new grid data
  console.log(moveResult, dbJsonStringToSave);
