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.

References

Read these only when needed:

references/rendered-pieces.md: Shape, Image, Sprite factory signatures and addToBoard.
references/tile-textures.md: CreateTileTexture usage and generated texture workflow.
references/tilemap-import.md: board creation from Phaser tilemaps.
references/rendered-piece-recipes.md: reduced recipes for drawn tiles, sprite pieces, and generated tile textures.

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(...).
