This is a Python chess implementation with a Tkinter graphical user interface (GUI). The project is built using clean, object-oriented programming (OOP) principles to ensure modularity, readability, and extensibility. It includes features such as pawn promotion and en passant.
-
Clean Code: The project follows best practices for writing clean, readable, and maintainable code. It adheres to the principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) to promote modularity and extensibility.
-
Fully Object-Oriented Design: The chess game logic is implemented using object-oriented design, with classes representing each component of the game such as the board, pieces, players, and moves.
-
Pawn Promotion: When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board, it can be promoted to any other piece (queen, rook, bishop, or knight) chosen by the player.
-
En Passant: The en passant rule is implemented, allowing a pawn to capture an opponent's pawn if it moves two squares forward from its starting position, bypassing the captured pawn's original position.
-
Tkinter GUI: The graphical user interface is built using Tkinter, the standard GUI toolkit for Python. It provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for playing chess.
-
Installation: Clone the repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/sadrasa97/Python-Chess-with-Tkinter-GUI.git
-
Dependencies: Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system. Install Tkinter if not already available.
pip install tk
-
Run the Game: Navigate to the project directory and run the main Python file.
cd Python-Chess-with-Tkinter-GUI python main.py -
Play Chess: Use the mouse to select and move pieces on the chessboard. Enjoy playing against either a friend or yourself!
-
Mouse Controls: Click on a piece to select it, then click on a valid square to move the piece to that location.
-
Pawn Promotion: When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board, a promotion dialog will appear. Select the desired piece for promotion.
-
En Passant: If your opponent moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, you have the option to capture it en passant on the next move.
-
Check and Checkmate: Keep an eye out for check and checkmate situations. The game will automatically detect and handle these scenarios.
-
Undo Move: Press the "Undo" button to undo your last move if needed.
