Restructured project from nested workspace pattern to flat single-repo layout. This eliminates redundant nesting and consolidates all project files under version control. ## Migration Summary **Before:** ``` alex/ (workspace, not versioned) ├── chess-game/ (git repo) │ ├── js/, css/, tests/ │ └── index.html └── docs/ (planning, not versioned) ``` **After:** ``` alex/ (git repo, everything versioned) ├── js/, css/, tests/ ├── index.html ├── docs/ (project documentation) ├── planning/ (historical planning docs) ├── .gitea/ (CI/CD) └── CLAUDE.md (configuration) ``` ## Changes Made ### Structure Consolidation - Moved all chess-game/ contents to root level - Removed redundant chess-game/ subdirectory - Flattened directory structure (eliminated one nesting level) ### Documentation Organization - Moved chess-game/docs/ → docs/ (project documentation) - Moved alex/docs/ → planning/ (historical planning documents) - Added CLAUDE.md (workspace configuration) - Added IMPLEMENTATION_PROMPT.md (original project prompt) ### Version Control Improvements - All project files now under version control - Planning documents preserved in planning/ folder - Merged .gitignore files (workspace + project) - Added .claude/ agent configurations ### File Updates - Updated .gitignore to include both workspace and project excludes - Moved README.md to root level - All import paths remain functional (relative paths unchanged) ## Benefits ✅ **Simpler Structure** - One level of nesting removed ✅ **Complete Versioning** - All documentation now in git ✅ **Standard Layout** - Matches open-source project conventions ✅ **Easier Navigation** - Direct access to all project files ✅ **CI/CD Compatible** - All workflows still functional ## Technical Validation - ✅ Node.js environment verified - ✅ Dependencies installed successfully - ✅ Dev server starts and responds - ✅ All core files present and accessible - ✅ Git repository functional ## Files Preserved **Implementation Files:** - js/ (3,517 lines of code) - css/ (4 stylesheets) - tests/ (87 test cases) - index.html - package.json **CI/CD Pipeline:** - .gitea/workflows/ci.yml - .gitea/workflows/release.yml **Documentation:** - docs/ (12+ documentation files) - planning/ (historical planning materials) - README.md **Configuration:** - jest.config.js, babel.config.cjs, playwright.config.js - .gitignore (merged) - CLAUDE.md 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Chess Game - System Design
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
The chess game follows a **modular, layered architecture** with clear separation of concerns. The system is designed for extensibility, testability, and maintainability.
|
|
|
|
### Architectural Style
|
|
- **Pattern**: MVC (Model-View-Controller) with Event-Driven Architecture
|
|
- **Modularity**: ES6 Modules for component isolation
|
|
- **State Management**: Centralized game state with immutable updates
|
|
- **Communication**: Event-based pub/sub for component decoupling
|
|
|
|
## System Layers
|
|
|
|
### 1. Presentation Layer
|
|
- **ChessBoardView**: Visual board rendering
|
|
- **ChessPieceView**: Piece rendering and animations
|
|
- **UIController**: User input handling and feedback
|
|
- **ThemeManager**: Visual styling and customization
|
|
|
|
### 2. Business Logic Layer
|
|
- **GameEngine**: Core game rules and state management
|
|
- **MoveValidator**: Legal move validation and check detection
|
|
- **MoveGenerator**: All possible moves calculation
|
|
- **GameController**: Game flow orchestration
|
|
- **TurnManager**: Player turn handling
|
|
|
|
### 3. Data Layer
|
|
- **BoardState**: Current board configuration
|
|
- **GameHistory**: Move history and undo/redo
|
|
- **GameConfig**: Configuration and settings
|
|
- **PersistenceManager**: Save/load game state
|
|
|
|
### 4. AI Layer (Optional)
|
|
- **AIPlayer**: Computer opponent interface
|
|
- **MoveEvaluator**: Position evaluation
|
|
- **SearchAlgorithm**: Minimax with alpha-beta pruning
|
|
|
|
## Core Principles
|
|
|
|
### Single Responsibility
|
|
Each component has one clear purpose and reason to change.
|
|
|
|
### Open/Closed Principle
|
|
Components are open for extension but closed for modification through interfaces and hooks.
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Inversion
|
|
High-level modules depend on abstractions, not concrete implementations.
|
|
|
|
### Event-Driven Communication
|
|
Components communicate through events to minimize coupling.
|
|
|
|
## System Constraints
|
|
|
|
### Performance
|
|
- Board updates: < 16ms (60 FPS)
|
|
- Move validation: < 5ms
|
|
- AI move calculation: < 2000ms (configurable)
|
|
|
|
### Browser Compatibility
|
|
- Modern browsers (ES6+ support)
|
|
- Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+
|
|
|
|
### Accessibility
|
|
- Keyboard navigation support
|
|
- Screen reader compatibility
|
|
- ARIA labels for all interactive elements
|
|
|
|
## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Client-Side Only (Phase 1)
|
|
- No network communication
|
|
- Local storage only for persistence
|
|
- Input validation for all user actions
|
|
|
|
### Future Network Play (Phase 2)
|
|
- WebSocket communication
|
|
- Move verification on server
|
|
- Anti-cheat measures
|
|
- Rate limiting
|
|
|
|
## Scalability Strategy
|
|
|
|
### Modular Extension Points
|
|
- Plugin system for new features
|
|
- Theme customization hooks
|
|
- AI difficulty levels
|
|
- Alternative rule sets (variants)
|
|
|
|
### Performance Optimization
|
|
- Virtual DOM for efficient rendering
|
|
- Move generation caching
|
|
- Position evaluation memoization
|
|
- Web Workers for AI computation
|
|
|
|
