INTRODUCTION TO EVENT
MANAGEMENT
1.Functional Objectives
The functional objectives of the Event Management System project are focused on the core features
and functionalities the system must deliver to ensure smooth event creation, management, and
participation.
These focus on the quality and user experience aspects of the Event Management System:
1. Performance and Scalability:
Ensure the system can handle a large number of users, events, and registrations without
performance degradation.
2. Reliability and Availability
Ensure the system is highly available and reliable, with minimal downtime.
3. Security:
Protect sensitive user data and prevent unauthorized access.
4. Usability:
Provide an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for all users, regardless of their technical proficiency.
3. Project-Specific Objectives
1. Functional Features
These are the key features that will be implemented to ensure the chess game works as expected
and delivers a fully functional experience:
•Interactive Chessboard:
• An 8x8 grid representing the chessboard with alternating squares.
• Visual representation of all 32 chess pieces (16 per player) placed in their initial positions.
•Piece Movement:
• Allow players to move pieces according to standard chess rules (e.g., pawns move forward,
knights move in an L-shape).
• Highlight valid moves for each piece when selected.
• Prevent illegal moves and provide visual feedback (e.g., error messages or restricted
moves).
•Game Rules Enforcement:
• Check and checkmate detection.
• Handling stalemate and draw situations.
• Automatic detection of the game end (win/loss).
• Special moves such as castling, en passant, and pawn promotion.
•Game Modes:
• Single-player mode: A player can play against a computer-controlled AI opponent.
• Multiplayer mode: Allow two players to play against each other on the same device
(local multiplayer).
•Timer:
• Implement a countdown timer for each player’s turn.
• Option to add time limits (e.g., 5-minute chess).
•Undo/Redo:
• Allow players to undo or redo moves to correct mistakes or explore alternate strategies.
•Save and Resume:
• Enable saving the game progress and the ability to resume from where the player left off.
2. Non-Functional Features
These features focus on the quality, performance, and overall experience of the chess game,
ensuring it meets user expectations.
•Responsive Design:
• The game should work seamlessly on different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, and mobile).
• Utilize Tailwind CSS to create a flexible layout that adapts to various devices.
•Smooth Animations:
• Implement smooth, visually appealing animations for piece movement and game
transitions.
• Use CSS transitions or JavaScript libraries to enhance the user experience.
•Performance Optimization:
• Ensure fast load times for the game, even when rendering multiple pieces and moves.
• Optimize JavaScript code for efficient execution and quick responsiveness during gameplay.
•Accessibility:
• Provide keyboard navigation for players who prefer using the keyboard over the mouse.
• Make sure the game is accessible to users with visual impairments, possibly including
colorblind-friendly themes.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
1. Incremental Model
Overview
The Incremental Model focuses on dividing the project into smaller, manageable increments.
Each increment delivers a specific set of features and builds upon the previous version. This
approach allows for partially functional versions to be delivered early in the project lifecycle.
Application in Chess Game
For your chess game, you can break down the development into modular increments:
•Increment 1: Display the chessboard using Tailwind CSS.
• Render an 8x8 grid with alternating colors for light and dark squares.
• Ensure responsive design using Tailwind's utility classes.
•Increment 2: Add chess pieces to the board.
• Use JavaScript to render pieces and initialize their positions.
• Incorporate basic piece movement animations.
•Increment 3: Implement game rules.
• Validate piece movements based on chess rules (e.g., bishops move diagonally, knights
jump in an L-shape).
• Detect checks and checkmates.
•Increment 4: Add advanced features like AI or multiplayer functionality.
• Use JavaScript to integrate a simple AI opponent or WebSocket APIs for online
multiplayer.
Advantages
•Early delivery of partially functional versions allows for user feedback on initial features.
•Issues can be identified and resolved incrementally.
•Reduces risks by tackling smaller tasks at a time.
Challenges
•Requires clear upfront planning to decide the scope of each increment.
•Integrating new increments into the existing system might introduce complexities.
2. Agile Process Model
Overview
The Agile Process Model is highly iterative and adaptive. Development happens in short
time-boxed iterations called sprints, usually lasting 1-2 weeks. Agile emphasizes collaboration,
continuous feedback, and iterative improvement.
Application in Chess Game
Using Agile, your chess game development could follow this workflow:
•Sprint 1: Basic UI Development
• Design a responsive chessboard with Tailwind CSS.
• Create interactive components like hover effects on squares.
•Sprint 2: Basic Movement Logic
• Implement drag-and-drop functionality for chess pieces.
• Allow free movement without validating rules to test UI interactions.
•Sprint 3: Game Rules and Logic
• Add validation for piece movements based on chess rules.
• Highlight possible moves for selected pieces dynamically.
•Sprint 4: Advanced Features and Enhancements
• Integrate features like undo/redo, timers, or save/load functionality.
• Optimize performance for AI or multiplayer interactions.
Advantages
•Highly flexible, allowing changes in requirements or priorities.
•Continuous delivery of features ensures rapid feedback.
•Strong focus on collaboration and user-centric design.
Challenges
•Requires active participation from stakeholders for feedback.
•Can be challenging to manage without experience in Agile methodologies.
KEY FEATURES DEMONSTRATION
The demonstration of the chess game project highlights its core functionalities and
user interface to showcase its capability as a responsive, interactive, and rule-
compliant digital chess platform.
1. Interactive Chessboard
•Design and Layout:
• The chessboard is an 8x8 grid, visually styled with alternating light and dark
squares, resembling a traditional chessboard.
• Each square is clickable, allowing players to interact with pieces easily.
•Initial Setup:
• All 32 chess pieces are displayed in their standard starting positions at the
beginning of the game.
•Piece Selection and Highlighting:
• Clicking on a piece highlights it, and valid moves are visually marked on the
board.
• Invalid moves are restricted, with error feedback provided (e.g., a tooltip or
visual indicator).
2. Game Rules Implementation
•Piece Movement:
• Demonstrate the movement of various pieces (e.g., pawns moving forward, knights
moving in an "L" shape).
• Showcase how the game enforces legal moves for each piece.
•Check and Checkmate Detection:
• Simulate scenarios to show how the game detects a king in check or a checkmate
situation.
• Visual cues are displayed, such as highlighting the attacking piece or a notification of
checkmate.
•Special Moves:
• Castling: Show how the king and rook move together in a castling move.
• En Passant: Demonstrate a pawn capturing another pawn using the en passant rule.
• Pawn Promotion: Move a pawn to the opposite end of the board to trigger promotion,
allowing selection of a new piece (queen, rook, bishop, or knight).
3. Responsive Design
•Device Adaptability:
• Demonstrate how the chess game adjusts seamlessly across different devices (desktop,
tablet, mobile).
• Show the layout dynamically resizing and maintaining usability on smaller screens.
•Smooth Animations:
• Showcase smooth transitions during piece movements and visual feedback when
selecting or moving pieces.
7. Save and Resume
This Chess Game project aims to deliver a functional, interactive, and engaging platform
for chess enthusiasts. By focusing on essential chess rules and providing a responsive
design, the game will offer a seamless experience across devices. Though initially limited in
scope, future enhancements such as advanced AI, online multiplayer, and customization
options will further elevate the user experience. The project will serve as both a learning
opportunity in web development and a valuable tool for chess players of all skill levels.
