This is a C++-based chess game that utilizes SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library) for rendering graphics. The project includes game logic, piece movement, and a graphical user interface (GUI). The game allows players to move chess pieces and determine the game state based on standard chess rules.

• The project follows OOP principles, with each chess piece (king, queen, rook, etc.) having its own class.
• game_manager.cpp: manages the game flow, player turns, and game rules.
• board.cpp: Handles the chessboard structure, piece placements, and movement validation.
• main.cpp: The entry point of the game.

• CMakeLists.txt: This project is built using CMake, which simplifies compilation.
• CMakeFiles/, Makefile: Generated build files for compiling and linking the project.

• The images/ folder contains chess piece sprites (wk.png, bq.png, etc.), pause/reset buttons.
• The font/ folder contains a custom font (KaushanScript-Regular.otf) for rendering text in the UI.

• Uses CMake and a Makefile for easy building.
• The compiled binary is likely placed in ap/.

• Graphical UI using SFML
• Turn-based chess rules
• Valid move checks
• Game state management (check, checkmate) 🚀

Here’s a refined version with better readability, grammar, and formatting:

1. Run the compiled game file named ap using the following command:

   ./ap

2. Once the program starts successfully, input the board frame and arrange the pieces as shown in the following image:

   

3. After setting up the board, the GUI window will open and look like this:

   

If you encounter any issues with CMake, you can clean and rebuild the project by running the following commands:

rm -rf CMakeCache.txt CMakeFiles/
cmake .
make

Hope you enjoyed! 🚀
