Coding Style

about coding style, naming system.. because this is a PHP, i try to stick to use PHP-PSR, like game_over() become gameOver()

just keep in mind, any function name transformed into camelCase

Example Code

The code below plays a complete game of chess ... randomly.

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use \Ryanhs\Chess\Chess;

$chess = new Chess();
while (!$chess->gameOver()) {
	$moves = $chess->moves();
	$move = $moves[mt_rand(0, count($moves) - 1)];
	$chess->move($move);
}

echo $chess->ascii() . PHP_EOL;
