##Built based on OO principles This game was built in Ruby with OO (Object Oriented) principles in mind.
-
Pieces were built as "dumb" as possible. They ensure separation of concerns by leaving the state of the board to the Board.
-
Board is made up of Square objects which have Pieces on them (or not). The Board has a general idea of what moves are available/allowed and what moves are not, based on the state of the board. It also keeps a History of past moves.
-
Player knows about his/her own pieces and he/she is the one to know what a piece can and cannot do.
-
Game controls the flow of the game (whose turn it is, what move that player wants to make, whether or not that move is a valid choice, etc.) Game also checks for and responds appropriately to all possible chess scenarios:
