This is a Java project for a chess game. It allows players to play chess against each other using the command line interface. The project is implemented using object-oriented programming principles and follows a layered architecture pattern.
- Class representing a position on the chess board.
- Encapsulates the row and column of a position.
- Provides constructors and methods for accessing and manipulating positions.
- Overrides the
toString()method to provide a string representation of the position.
- Abstract class representing a chess piece.
- Provides basic functionality and common attributes for all chess pieces.
- Subclasses of
Pieceimplement specific types of chess pieces, such as Rook, King, Pawn, etc. - Includes methods for checking if a piece can move to a given position and calculating its possible moves.
- Class representing the chess board.
- Encapsulates a 2D array (matrix) of
Pieceobjects. - Provides methods for accessing and manipulating the pieces on the board.
- Includes methods for validating positions, checking if a piece exists at a given position, etc.
- Subclass of
Piecerepresenting a chess piece with additional properties and functionality specific to a chess game. - Adds a
colorproperty to differentiate between black and white pieces. - Overrides the
toString()method to provide a string representation of the piece.
- Class representing a chess match.
- Orchestrates the flow of the game, including handling turns, making moves, checking for check and checkmate, etc.
- Uses instances of
BoardandPlayerto manage the state of the game. - Provides methods for performing chess moves, validating positions, and checking for check and checkmate.
- Class providing a command line user interface for playing chess.
- Handles user input and displays the chess board and game information.
To use the chess system, run the ChessConsole class, which provides a command-line interface for playing chess. The game will prompt you for input and display the current state of the chess board.
