you should start reading up on one of the best features in thunkable - any component block - or what i started calling as “indexable buttons” (or components).
please read this tutorial to give you an idea of this process. (i guarantee you that this can build a chessboard and you can address each cell programatically!)
following the technique aboive, the steps to make a chessboard are the following;
in the design phase, create a prototype row, inside it, create a protoype button (no rounded corners), with a width about 1/9 of the width of the screen)
in the blocks section do the following at start.
- clone the prototype BUTTON 8 times , then delete the prototype button.
2, then clone the prototype ROW 8 times , then delete the prototype row. - voila - 8x8 board! each button can be addressable by number from 1 to 64.
- you can use a loop to alternately color each button (cell)
