2048-chess's Issues

Clearer identification of whose turn it is

The king and/or score of whoever's turn it is should be highlighted to it is not ambiguous.

Multiplayer functionality

1. User account management
2. User sessions
3. Game state management
4. Ranking system (Lower bound of Wilson score confidence interval for a Bernoulli parameter)

UI Tweaks

1. Create a 2048 logo using the knight image.
2. Update text blurbs to be accurate
3. Update color scheme?
4. ELO #1 in the World quote by Andrew

Checkmate

1. It should not be possible to move into a position where your king is in check
2. If your king is checkmated, that should be game over and the other team wins

"No Moves Left" Logic

1. "No Moves Left" logic is broken. It is possible to get into states where all cells are occupied, there are possible merges, but the app thinks it's Game Over.
2. Moves that put your king in check need to be excluded from possibilities. Incorporate this into the "No Moves Left" logic.

Larger board / More Pieces

1. Larger board?
2. More types of pieces (rooks or blockers)?
