ECE597 Project 3D Chess

This project will simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game will allow two player games using two BeagleBoards over a network connection. The graphics will use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. If time permits, a third portion of the project will be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.

Timeline
Below is an estimated timetable of tasks to be completed. Some adjustments may be necessary.

About priorities: High Priority items need to be completed for a successful project. Medium Priority items should be completed for an effective project, but the project can still be successful without the item's completion. Low Priority items should be completed if time allows.
