  • Chess - Part 422:58

    Learn to place all chess pieces on the board programmatically with loops and switch cases, initialize black, white, and dummy pieces, then enable dragging with pan gesture recognizers.

  • Chess - Part 521:22
  • Chess - Part 627:00
  • Chess - Part 725:26

    Implement a turn-based chess flow in swift by defining is white turn and next turn, updating the display on screen, and guarding moves for on-board validity and allied-piece attacks.

  • Chess - Part 826:15

    Implement a top-level is valid design to validate chess moves by piece type with a two-step check: basic rules and current board state, including knight can jump.

  • Chess - Part 919:29

Description

"Omg this was freakin amazing. Whoever you are who worked together to put this together, you have my immense gratitude. This is so perfect for what I needed right now to help me create a professional chess related app for iPad and iPhone. I have a modest amount of programming experience (just enough to get by for supporting my day job which is not as a programmer) and never heard of xcode before now. I'm amazed what a nice experience you designed for someone like me to even create something that looks like a chessboard on an iPhone in one video lesson. Thanks so much, I'm excited to continue on." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris Balcom, Modesto California
