Battle Chess is a strategy game developed in C++ using the SFML library. The game features various classes and files to represent chess pieces and game mechanics.
The primary goal of this project was to deepen my understanding of C++ by developing a chess program from scratch. What started as a simple chess game has evolved into an ambitious project featuring multiple classes of unique pieces, each with their own special abilities. The game is a work in progress, with additional features planned, including a point system, strategic army development, a tutorial, and online multiplayer capabilities.
Artwork and design we're handled on my own and are harken back to the dungeon pixel aesthestic of the eighties. I will likely circle back on it in the future.
It was later further developed for the web using JavaScript, SolidJS, PixiJS, and Django. For that project, head here or try the game at: https://battle-chess-web.vercel.app.
