21 -- Night of the Living Chessboard -- Sam Kauffman

Deliverables

• [x] Yak Shaving - (s)
• [ ] Chess board - (XL)
  • [ ] Raise it from the dead
  • [ ] Use git log to hunt down the last commit to your chessboard, not the TIY-Chessboard that we did in pairs. Then use git checkout to resurrect it to new, unholy life! If you find that it's missing some pieces, you're not crazy. I bet your jQuery Fu can take care of that.
  • [ ] Using the documentation that we developed in class -- User Stories, Data Model, Feature Plan, Estimates -- build out and test the Constructors and Prototypes. Then refactor your chessboard to use those instead of the literals and loose functions.
  • [ ] Your Game should have an internal list of moves, an Array of Function items that advance the state of the Board when invoked.
  • [ ] Start with the original move list
  • [ ] but expand it to include this slightly gory mid-game, which has captures and castling.
  • [ ] BEAST MODE - Chess is a sport! It has players and a score! In it's simplest form, you can just add up the point values for each piece at the end of each turn:

	piece	value
♟	pawn	1
♞	knight	3
♝	bishop	3
♜	rook	5
♛	queen	9

You should do that. Your Game class needs a players() method that returns an Object with two properties -- white and black -- that contain the Number score for each player.

JavaScript is Fun!

• [x] read about the setInterval() browser API and the Date type in JS (I swear we've seen that before somewhere). Peeking at the source code for the reference implementation might help, too. - (L)
• [x] Build color clock
  • [x] Have it display current time
  • [x] display time converted into hexadecimal
  • [x] change background color to change every second
  • [x] color of background should correspond to hexadecimal time

Additional Practice as Necessary

If you're looking to brush up for the rest of the week, doing some API Gymnastics or tackling another Project Euler problem would be a good start. If you're really brave, check out Code Wars for some daily warm-ups.
