Chess GUI (First Semester Project)

This is a basic Chess GUI built using C++ and SFML. It was developed as a first-semester project (PBL) and is maintained here for archival purposes.

Project Status

• Archival: This project represents my early learning stage in C++.
• Known Limitations:
  • Missing rules: Castling, En Passant, Pawn Promotion, and Stalemate.
  • Basic GUI: Simple drag-and-drop mechanics.
  • Portable: Recently refactored to use relative paths (previously used hardcoded absolute paths).

Setup

1. Ensure you have SFML configured in your environment.
2. The project uses Visual Studio (.sln included).
3. Assets (sprites and fonts) are located in the PBL/Sprites directory.

Controls

• Left Click & Drag: Move pieces.
• Escape: Close the window.
