Boom Chess

BoomChess: A Modernized Tactical Chess Game

BoomChess reimagines the classic game of chess in a modern, warfare-themed setting. Each traditional chess piece is transformed into a unique military unit, complete with health values, damage capabilities, as well as advantages and disadvantages. The game features a larger 9x8 board, fostering a complex and strategic gameplay experience.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics:

Health and Damage System: Every piece has randomized health and damage values, introducing a layer of unpredictability. The damage a piece deals is scaled by its current health. A lower health results in reduced damage output.

Attacking and Defending: At the end of each turn, pieces automatically attack any enemy within their range. Damage dealt is influenced by the number of surrounding enemies and allies.

Non-Deterministic Strategy: Unlike traditional chess, BoomChess incorporates elements of randomness, requiring players to adapt their tactics continually.

Revamped Chess Pieces:

•     General (King): The most crucial unit, moves one square in any direction. Its loss results in a game defeat.
•     Commando (Queen): The most powerful unit, with the ability to move freely in any direction. It has random damage reduction capabilities and is particularly effective against tanks.
•     Tank (Rook): Represents the traditional rook, moving horizontally or vertically. It has high health and is effective against infantry but vulnerable to helicopters.
•     War Dogs (Bishop): Moves diagonally, effective against infantry but weak against helicopters.
•     Helicopter (Knight): Moves in an L-shape, capable of jumping over obstacles. It has high effectiveness against tanks.
•     Infantry (Pawn): Moves forward, capturing diagonally. It has a unique advantage against helicopters but is vulnerable to war dogs and tanks.
•     Artillery: A new piece that moves one tile in any direction and can attack targets two tiles away.

Board and Aesthetics:

Board Size: The game is played on a 9x8 board, allowing for more strategic depth.   

Visual and Audio Effects: BoomChess features immersive sound effects, particularly  emphasizing the 'boom' sounds during attacks, enhancing the game's modern warfare theme
