# Chess-expect! 

The idea behind this project is to develop a big-bang chess program which allows you to play against

a friend or colleague on one machine.

## Installation guide

  * Clone or download the repo

  * Open Chess-expect! (Mac) or Chess-expect!.exe (Windows) from the dist folder

  * Enjoy!

  You can also directly open chess-expect.rkt with your favorite Racket editor and run it.

## How to play

Every player moves its cursor with respectively WASD (player 1 - white pieces) and the arrow keys 

(player 2 - black pieces); the spacebar is used to pick up and drop the pieces. The turn ends automatically 

when a piece gets dropped on a valid tile.

Notes:

 

  * To win, you have to eat the king. Yup. 

  * Castling and "en passant" have been intentionally left out of

     the game to make it harder. 100% intended.

  * You can jump over other pieces, unless you buy the Rules DLC (coming soon)

## Language and libraries

The program is in Advanced Student Language, made with DrRacket v7.0.

It uses the libraries racket/base (for struct-copy), 2htdp/image (for image manipulation and drawing) 

and 2htdp/universe (big-bang).
