A chess board that is not intended to play chess, but just defined a custom chess position and get its code in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN).

Features

With this widget, you can :

• set value for each cell with a single click (first select the editing piece type / or the trash)
• clear the board / set to the standard position
• load the widget with a custom position and then reset to this initial position when needed
• get the FEN value / set the board from a FEN value The board adjusts itself its layout : either portrait or landscape.

Also, you must define all the labels text manually.

Getting started

• Make sure you give a value to all buttons texts with an instance to the Labels class,
• you must create a PositionController by passing the initial position to its constructor : the value of the position in this controller (property currentPosition) will be updated with the latest registered position.
