A chess board that is not intended to play chess, but just defined a custom chess position and get its code in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN).
Features
With this widget, you can :
- set value for each cell with a single click (first select the editing piece type / or the trash)
- clear the board / set to the standard position
- load the widget with a custom position and then reset to this initial position when needed
- get the FEN value / set the board from a FEN value
The board adjusts itself its layout : either portrait or landscape.
Also, you must define all the labels text manually.
Getting started
- Make sure you give a value to all buttons texts with an instance to the
Labelsclass, - you must create a
PositionControllerby passing the initial position to its constructor : the value of
the position in this controller (propertycurrentPosition) will be updated with the latest registered position.
