Project Description

The goal of this project is to build a computerized chess board that can play a user in a game of chess by moving its own pieces. In order to do this, we need to track the location of all active pieces on the board, detect when a user moves a piece, and automatically move pieces for the AI controlled player. The board will also have a touch screen user-interface that will display the current state of the board, allow the user to update the difficulty of the AI on the fly, get hints on possible moves, and even reset the board. The project is intended to be displayed and used by visitors and prospective students so our goal is to make it as user-friendly as possible.
