Improvements

Use context + store for tiles instead of passing props. Use it to hold functions as well.

{
    tiles: [{ id, blocked, overlay, color, piece, flashing, annotation, arrow }, {}]
    debug: true,
    width: 8,
    height: 8,
    hovering: 42,
    selected: 42,

    util: {
        /* coordsToIndex: (x, y) => {},
        indexToCoords: (id) => {},
        getTileByCoords: (x, y) => {},
        getTileByIndex: (id) => {},*/
        getTile: (id) => {},
        raycast: (dx, dy, distance) => {},
    }

    logic: {
        handlePick: (id) => {},
        handleDrop: (id) => {},
        handleHover: (id) => {},
    }

}

This global store can be used to more easily send influence tiles graphics (i.e. highlight, flashing, colors, sizes) without passing dozens of props.

Potential TODOs

• Should use context for the handleMove function. using events
• Debug mode.
• Move board into folder (components) and rename to map (maybe).
• Look into using events.
• Maybe move assets to src.
• Better names for the functions.
• Sidebar
• Move tracker
• Timer
• Blocked marker toggle
• Center
• Finish
• arrows
• Favicon
• Raycast for blocks
• Change queen position
• Error marker
• Togglable blocked tiles highlight color
