NOTE:  Early Development

Tafl is a two player turn based game similar to chess. The main differences between this and chess are the Captures and Win Conditions

- Movement,  all pieces share the same being able to in a straight line vertically or horizontally as long as no other pieces are in the way or the edge of the board is reached (like a rook in chess, but not able to move into opponents pieces to capture). no piece execpt the king. the king starts in the middle and has the same pattern as the corner tiles)

- Captures occur by sandwiching an opponents piece either vertically or horizontally with your own pieces or corner tiles. Captures only happen when a player moves to sandwich a piece so a piece is still safe to move into the middle two opponents without being captured on that move. 

- Grey Pieces are the attackers which play first and their goal is to capture the king.

- Green Pieces are the defenders which play second and their goal is to move the king into a corner tile.

- Controls are mouse based click one of your pieces on your turn to select it and click a square with a move indicator to move there.

Keyboard Commands: 

- R: reset board

- 1: toggle attackers bot mode

- 2: toggle defenders bot mode
