This week, I mostly worked on getting the socket.io library to work with the webapp and preparing for the Design Review. While the sockets are not completely functional at the moment, I am hoping to get it working by early next week, and then working on SerialPort for the remainder of the week.
Brandon’s Status Update for 10/10
This week, I learned how to use node js and express, including using libraries with them. I was able to use chessjs and chessboardjs to make a working chess game which also prints information about the game’s status as shown at the bottom, so I am on track of schedule. I hope to get the game working with sockets for next week.
Brandon’s Status Update for 10/3
This week, I worked on creating design documents ( Object Diagram, Class Diagram) and delved deeper into which web app framework to use: node.js express. By next week, I hope to have a local web app where the user can play a game of chess (controlling both colors).
