Build Status

✅ Build Successful

How to Test

Quick Start

cd app
flutter run -d "192.168.1.77:33535"

In-App Testing

  1. Navigate to Games tab
  2. Tap Chess Master tile
  3. Select difficulty level
  4. Play chess against AI

Expected Behavior

Audio Integration (Next Step)

To add actual audio:

  1. Generate/source audio files for:
    • 6 piece types × 4 move types = 24 voice files
    • 3 stinger sounds
    • 3 background music tracks

  2. Place in app/assets/audio/ following the structure

  3. Rebuild app: 
    flutter clean && flutter pub get && flutter run
