Terminal Chess Game

Project Information

• Title: Terminal Chess Game
• Version: 1.0
• Author: You
• Description: A complete terminal-based chess game written in Python, including all essential components — pseudocode, Python code, flowchart, and an example game state. The project aims to provide an accessible yet robust implementation of a chess game within a terminal.

Features

1. Pseudocode: Logical flow of the game from setup to end.
2. Python Implementation: Modular Python code for executing the game logic.
3. Flowchart: Visual representation of the game's logic using Mermaid.js.
4. JSON Example: Sample serialized board state to illustrate possible game states.

Pseudocode Overview

The pseudocode outlines:

• Game Setup: Initializing the chess board and game state variables.
• Game Loop: Managing player actions, validating moves, and updating game states.
• Game End: Announcing results and restarting or exiting.

---

Python Code

The Python code provides:

• Object-oriented design with modular methods.
• Features for move validation, board updates, and game state checks.
• Interactive terminal gameplay with options to restart or quit.

Flowchart

The game's logic flow is depicted in Mermaid.js syntax:

graph TD
  A[Start Game] --> B[Initialize Game State]
  B --> C[Main Game Loop]
  C --> D[Display Board]
  D --> E{Player Action}
  E -- Move --> F[Parse & Validate Move]
  F -- Invalid --> C
  F -- Valid --> G[Update Board & History]
  G --> H[Checkmate or Stalemate?]
  H -- Yes --> I[Announce Result]
  H -- No --> J[Switch Player] --> C
  E -- Restart --> B
  E -- Quit --> K[Exit Game]
  I --> L{Play Again?}
  L -- Yes --> B
  L -- No --> K
