This project is based on this video tutorial series, whose source code can be found on this repository. This was made to learn more about the Java language in general, and to improve a project that I liked already.
Teal Chess has some differences with the original project, some of which are:
- The project uses Java 17 (the latest LTS version)
- Gradle is used to manage dependencies, with the Groovy DSL
- The UI is done using libGDX, a game development framework, which is more flexible than Swing
- Chess graphics are the same as the ones by Cburnett on Wikipedia
- Abstractions were added when it makes sense, to make core mode readable
The project is far from finished (even as a demo), which is why there's no release yet. Any extra documentation can be found in the docs folder.
