Sprint 5: Alpha-addendum

This release adds a new background image.

See Release v2.0.0 for details about the functional changes during Sprint 5.

Sprint 5: Alpha

This release include the following milestones:

• We have integrated a main menu into the game.
• We added an option to quickly start a standard game of chess.
• We implemented peer-to-peer networking over IP address.
• We added support for saving and loading board configurations to a file.

Known issues and missing features:

• The chess board jitters while resizing the game window.
• Game transitions are using placeholder animations.
• There is no in-game file manager for board configurations.
• There is no indication for a check mate or stalemate.
• There is no support for the castling chess move.
• En passant can be used against a pawn that did not move the previous turn.
• When a local game is in-progress, the back button navigates to the lobby instead of the main menu.

Sprint 4: Chess Game Showcase

Most changes are still happening to the backend and integration in this release. The binaries for this release showcases the default chess game.

Known Issues:

1. The chess piece movements are incorrect or not implemented.
2. There is no turn indicator. Blue (bottom) starts first in this demo.

Sprint 3: Setup Board

This release introduces board setup for an 8x8 board with six types of chess pieces for each team. Players can arbitrarily place, replace, or remove any piece on any board space by clicking an option in the section on the left, then clicking the board.

The delete option and selected piece option uses the Godot icon as a placeholder texture.

Sprint 2: Hello World Binaries

There are no functional additions in Sprint 2.
This release includes executable binaries for Windows and Linux.
