Project Description

This project is made for Software Engineering (Inżynieria Oprogramowania) classes at the University of Warsaw, academic year 2022/23.

It is a website that enables playing Hand&Brain chess with other players.

Hand&Brain chess is a variant of chess played by two teams, each consisting of two players. In each team, one player takes on the role of the brain, and the other player is the hand. The brain player decides which chess piece should be moved, and the hand player executes the actual move on the chessboard.

Features

• Create a room or join an existing one to play Hand&Brain chess with other players.
• Choose your team (Team 1 or Team 2) and your role (brain or hand) within the team.
• The brain player selects the chess piece to move, and the hand player makes the move on the chessboard.
• Real-time updates to keep track of the current game state and player turns.
• Visual representation of the chessboard using the javascript chess library.

Please note that this is still an early version of the project, and it may be further developed in the future.
