COMMAND-LINE CHESS

Prepared for The Odin Project's Ruby Final Project

In order to play, run ruby start_game.rb in your terminal.

Complete with all the special moves (en passant, castling, promotion)

• You will be prompted if you want to castle or do en passant when the correct situation occurs. If your response is no(n), your regular move will be played. If your response is yes(y), then the appropriate move will be played.
• When the appropriate situation for promotion occurs, you will be prompted to type the piece you want your pawn to be promoted. Options are Pawn, Bishop, Knight, Rook, and Queen.

Complete with checkmate and stalemate

• The game automatically ends when it is a checkmate or a stalemate.

With an option to save the game:

• In order to save and quit the game, type save when you are prompted for your moves.
• Saved game file name is composed of the names of the players: e.g. Shala_vs_Zahra.txt
• If there already is a saved game, you will be asked if you want to load it or not at the start of a new game.
• If your response is yes(y), then you will be prompted to type the names of the players and the game will load. If there is no such saved game, then a new game will start.

2-Player game over network connection

When you pick the option to play over a network, a server will fire up at port 2000 on your localhost. When another computer on the network runs ruby join_game.rb your_ip_address, a game will start. The connecting computer doesn't need to have the whole game script. If a game doesn't start, your firewall might be blocking incoming requests. Make sure to make the necessary adjustments.
