Perancangan Game Catur Sederhana Berbasis Web Menggunakan HTML, CSS, dan JavaScript

Abstract

This study aims to design and implement a simple web-based chess game application using pure client-side technologies, namely HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This abstract briefly describes the objectives, methods, findings, and significance of the research in developing a lightweight and easily accessible entertainment medium. The development method employed is the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using the Waterfall model, which includes requirement analysis of chess rules, interface design, and logic testing stages. The testing results indicate that JavaScript DOM manipulation is effective in managing chess piece movement validation. The main contribution of this research lies in code efficiency without dependency on external libraries. Functional testing demonstrates that all chess pieces move according to standard chess rules and that the system is capable of validating moves in real time. This study contributes by showing that board-based strategy game logic can be efficiently implemented using pure client-side technologies, resulting in a lightweight, responsive, and accessible application.
