I worked on coding the logic to spawn chess pieces on the board and also got control on every square of chess and implemented hover effects for chess squares, and improved the structure and resource management of the game code.

• Button hover effect and keyboard navigation
• SFML-based graphical interface
• Resource management for textures and fonts
• Screen switching between main menu and game board
• Basic board rendering (Screen2)
• Optimized resource loading (no global SFML objects)
• Stable exit without crashes

Known Limitations

• Options and Exit buttons are placeholders
• No sound or advanced animations

  • Developed functions for adding, viewing, and managing bookings.
  • Tested console input/output for user interaction.
  • Built main.exe and verified application runs as expected.
  • Refactored code for readability and maintainability.

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
