rexboard-rendered-tiles-and-pieces

description

Use this skill when creating RexBoard rendered tiles or pieces with shape, image, sprite, board-aware game objects, addToBoard, CreateTileTexture, createTileTexture, CreateBoardFromTilemap, createBoardFromTilemap, tilemap-rendered boards, or drawing RexBoard tiles. Triggers on: RexBoard shape, RexBoard image, RexBoard sprite, RexBoard rendered chess, addToBoard, createTileTexture, board tilemap rendering.

RexBoard Rendered Tiles And Pieces

Use this skill when RexBoard chess must be visible Phaser game objects or when board tiles need generated textures.

Use This First

Choose the rendering approach:

Need	Use
Custom visual object	Create Phaser object, then board.addChess(...)
Polygon tile/chess object	this.rexBoard.add.shape(...)
Static texture piece	this.rexBoard.add.image(...)
Animated/frame-based piece	this.rexBoard.add.sprite(...)
Reusable tile texture	this.rexBoard.createTileTexture(...)
Board from Phaser tilemap	this.rexBoard.createBoardFromTilemap(...)

Required Setup

This skill assumes RexBoard setup and a board/grid are already available. If not, use rexboard-setup-and-factory, rexboard-grids-and-coordinates, and rexboard-board-and-chess.

Core Rules

• Use board.addChess(...) for custom Phaser game objects.
• Use RexBoard Shape, Image, or Sprite when tile coordinates should be part of construction.
• Set addToBoard: true only when the object should register as board chess immediately.
• Use a consistent tileZ convention for tile visuals, pieces, overlays, and blockers.
• Treat createTileTexture as texture generation only; it does not place chess on the board.

Gotchas

• createBoardFromTilemap returns a board from tilemap data; still inspect the returned board/grid before adding game rules.
• Shape, Image, and Sprite can target a Board or MiniBoard.
• Passing addToBoard: false means future code must explicitly call board.addChess(...) or miniBoard.addChess(...).
