Overview

Create base chess functionality, starting with pieces, moves, and board.

Movement

• Use coords (0-7, 0-7), bottom left = (0, 0), top right = (7, 7)
• Create parsing function that uses a regular expression to get the square and the rest of the string for the piece
• Implement getMoves() for every piece
• Add castling functionality for King and Rook (maybe handled in the game engine instead?)

Game Engine

Game.java

• Player Turn Logic:

do {
    get player move
    get possible valid moves
    validate player move
} while player move isn’t valid

move piece on board

Discord Bot

Drawing the board

• Create method to draw current board position and save it to a PNG file

The Bot

• Use Discord Java API to create a bot user
• Create an embed message format that sends an image of the board and the most recent move
