# Scala Chess Board Game (still in development)
Welcome to my Scala-based chess board game project!
This project is a simple implementation of chess in Scala. It provides a basic chess board, pieces, and rules to play the game.
## Features
- **Chess Board**: A standard 8x8 chess board.
- **Pieces**: Implementation of all standard chess pieces - King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, and Pawn.
- **Movement**: Valid movement logic for all pieces according to standard chess rules.
- **Check and Checkmate Detection**: Detection of check and checkmate conditions during gameplay.
- **Simple Text-based Interface**: The game is played via a simple text-based interface in the terminal.
## Requirements
- **Scala 3.3.1 SDK**: This project is built using Scala programming language with Scala 3.3.1 SDK.
- **IntelliJ**: The project was developed using IntelliJ IDE.
- **JUnit 4**: JUnit 4 library is used for unit testing in this project.
## Getting Started
1. **Clone the Repository**: Clone this repository to your local machine.
```bash
https://github.com/himmat12/chess_board_game.git
```
2. **Build the Project**: Navigate to the project directory and use SBT to build the project.
```bash
cd chess_board_game
sbt compile
```
3. **Run the Game**: Once the project is compiled successfully, you can run the game.
```bash
sbt run
```
### Or, walkthrough this documentation to setup scala in intellij

## How to Play
- **Game Setup**: The game starts with a standard chess board setup with pieces placed in their initial positions.
- **Move Input**: To make a move, enter the chess piece value and then destination position of the piece you want to move. For example, move "wp5" white pawn to "f3" from its initial position "f2".
- **Game Progression**: The game alternates between players, allowing each player to make a move until checkmate or stalemate is reached.
- **Check and Checkmate**: The game will notify players if a king is in check or if a checkmate has occurred (checkmate and stalemate are still in development).
