This is a branch made by Shaheriar Malik from the original project from our senior design class, the Smart Chessboard. This is a standalone software web app that can run a chess game.
The chess engine, AI, and the websocket server are made using Python, and the Frontend is made using Flutter.
The AI uses minimax hard coded at a depth of 3 to find the best move to make based on material cost and if the move results in a checkmate.
This application needs 3 terminals to be running at the same time; one for the websocket server, one for the game engine, and one for the frontend.
cd chessboardflutter build webcd build/webnpm serve
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any errors in the console.
The game currently looks like this:
Install Node Package Manager (npm).
Install Python.
Install Flutter SDK.
