How to make a board

[Tristan Nguyen]

So I am trying to make a variation of chess, but my first problem is how I should create the board for the game. Should I use a canvas and many image sprites? or is there another, better way of doing this.

The board? It can be a square canvas with an image in the background. Easy.

Do you mean, the pieces? That's where you will need sprites. I don't think there's any better way to do that if you want to be able to move each piece individually.
