Board

AbstractBoard<T extends string>​

An abstract class for representing a game board.

Properties​

  • lastMoved: AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured> | null: The last figure that was moved.

Methods​

  • createFigure(name: T, owner: Player, coordinate: Coordinate | string): AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured>: Creates a figure and adds it to the board.
  • replaceFigure(figure: AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured>, name: T): AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured>: Replaces a figure with a new one (e.g., for pawn promotion).
  • getFigure(coordinate: Coordinate | string): AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured> | null: Returns the figure at a given coordinate.
  • getAllFigures(): AbstractFigure<T, Captured | NotCaptured>[]: Returns all figures on the board, including captured ones.
  • getPlayerFigures(player: Player): AbstractFigure<T, Captured | NotCaptured>[]: Returns all figures belonging to a specific player.
  • getPlayerFiguresByName(player: Player, figureName: T): AbstractFigure<T, Captured | NotCaptured>[]: Returns all figures of a specific type belonging to a specific player.
  • getFiguresReachCoordinate(coordinate: Coordinate): AbstractFigure<T, NotCaptured>[]: Returns all figures that can reach a given coordinate.
  • getPathBetweenCoordinates(base: Coordinate, end: Coordinate): Coordinate[]: Returns the path between two coordinates.
  • serializePosition(): string: Serializes the entire board position to a string.
  • loadPosition(serializedPosition: string, players: Record<string, Player>): void: Loads a board position from a serialized string.
  • getCoordinateWithVector(coordinate: Coordinate, vector: [number, number]): Coordinate | null: Returns a new coordinate by applying a vector to an existing coordinate.
  • serializeCoordinate(coordinate: Coordinate): string: Serializes a coordinate to a string.
  • deserializeCoordinate(coordinate: string): Coordinate: Deserializes a string to a coordinate.

Board8x8<T extends string>​

This class extends AbstractBoard and provides an implementation for a standard 8x8 board. It uses algebraic-like coordinates (e.g., "e4") for serialization and deserialization.
