Added a new difficulty level and adjusted the ranking of the "Unbeatable" level. Changes also include a minor adjustment in the calculation of the depth variable for the GetBestMove function. Comments with the old difficulty levels have been removed from both the ChessEngine service and the _Layout view.
Multiple difficulty levels have been implemented for the "Against AI" mode. This involved changes in the user interface to allow players to select the difficulty and corresponding adjustments in the game logic. Also, Artificial Intelligence behavior has been adapted according to these difficulty levels.
The script reference to layout.js in the _Layout.cshtml file was updated by adding an "asp-append-version" attribute. This will ensure a fresh copy of the script is loaded by appending a version query parameter to the URL, useful for cache busting.
Added new ChessEngine service as a singleton and integrated "LynxChess.Lynx" package. A new "Against AI" button is included in the layout. Player's ID is now appened to the "Against AI" button link. Created a new controllers, PveController, to handle interactions in Player versus AI mode.
Added two font awesome icons to the navbar links 'Rooms' and 'Watch'. Icon for player name also added in the layout.js file. This gives a more visual and interactive touch to the action links and personalizes the player name link.
A link to the Font Awesome CSS library has been added to the layout. This update will make Font Awesome icons available across the application views, improving the user interface design options.
This commit adds enhancements and refactors existing logic in the chess game. The modifications convert single-player games into multiplayer, introducing logic for accepting and managing game challenges, and displaying player information. Changes include retrieving a player's color via a new API, switching to represent watch mode visually, and restructuring the challenge acceptance flow
