History

This was party of a seletive process from a Brazilian company, the first deploy was made in 2 days, then the second deploy took more 3 days. Both are working 1 day before the limit date, the first release contains only one way to play.

Future

• Optimize the code
• Make a better strategy for events/methods in the game
• Add export to map feature
• Destroy method, that cleanup the defaults (custom or not) event listeners
• Animation when clicking to move the piece in the board
• Optimize the Spatial Navigation support
• Add option to change the turn when forcedAttack is disabled

Probably I will make a version with Web Components in the future that is only compatible with brand new modern browsers.
