Description:

Out of the ml5.js resources, I thought that sound classifier was the coolest, but instead of just printing out what was heard by the sound recognizer, I wanted to do something with that input.

So I decided to use a chess board in order to utilize the spoken inputs. Saying the numbers would change the chess piece, while saying directions would move the pieces.

I first started with a double for loop to create the chess board and alternate the colors of the chess board.

Then, I added the number changing.

After, I added the movement, and also added some checking so that the pieces stay within the board.

Finally, I added some sfx to make it feel a little better. One thing that I didn't do that would have been cool was to make it move like the pieces actually do. For example, for a bishop saying "up" followed by "right" moving it like how a bishop actually would, or even saying how many spaces, but it would take a lot more time than I currently have to spare to do so many different choices.
