This repository contains a complete implementation of a turn-based chess-like game using WebSocket for real-time communication and a web-based user interface. The game features a 5x5 grid board, three types of characters (Pawn, Hero1, Hero2), and supports two-player gameplay.
- Turn-based gameplay: Players alternate turns.
- Character types: Pawn, Hero1, Hero2 with unique movement rules.
- WebSocket communication: Real-time updates and move handling.
- Game board: 5x5 grid with visual representation.
- Move validation: Checks for valid moves and game over conditions.
- Responsive UI: Displays game state, current player's turn, and move options.
- Node.js: Make sure Node.js is installed on your machine. You can download it from nodejs.org.
Make sure the current directory is the desired one and stays followed throughout.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/turn-based-chess-like-game.git cd turn-based-chess-like-game - Install dependencies:
npm install
- Start the Websocket server:
node server.js
- Open the Client UI: -Open 'index.html' in a web browser directly from your file system. (right click-open with-choose browser) -Open two tabs with the same steps. -Player A and Player B can now play live.
Usage Setup:
Two players need to connect to the WebSocket server using separate instances of the web client. Each player will place their pieces on their respective starting rows. Playing the Game:
Players take turns moving their characters. Click on a character to see available moves. Select a move to execute it. The game state will be updated in real-time. Game Over:
The game ends when one player has no pieces left. The winner will be announced, and players can restart the game.
