I got code from https://chat.openai.com/chat to start this project.
chatGPT INPUT LINE:
write javascript code that creates a chessboard
function drawChessBoard() {
let board = "";
for (let i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
if ((i + j) % 2 === 0) {
board +=
" #";
} else {
board += " ";
}
}
board += "\n";
}
console.log(board);
}
drawChessBoard();
I got code from the AI and pasted it in. I turned it into usable code by tunning it up.s

I needed chess pieces for the chess board. The pieces come in unicode. My idea was to go on Wikipedia and copy the unicode for each piece
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode.
I did some math in the code for positioning the chess pieces. This math is hard but I got some of it right with the rook and the pawns.

I completed making all the pieces, which are written in unicode. My new learning this week was putting the pieces in the correct squares.
I learned how to make the pieces draggable. The pieces are now draggable but now they need to be placable. I am using the following link as a recourse to try and understand that. https://web.dev/drag-and-drop/.

Today my dad helped me make the pieces move without snapping back into the original position. I used this link for a reference.

I fixed a problem with the pawns. They had the same ID string. I generated a random number and attached it to the ID. I also fixed the color of the pieces by changing and getting rid of color schemes in the css classes.

Today, I made I fixed a problem with the chess pieces not elimenating one another and to do that I added a thing called captured and moved.
