I did projects/assignments mainly in object-oriented programming languages like Java, C#, and C++ with and without the graphic interface. Android apps in Android Studio, Windows forms apps, .NET webpages, Java Swing apps, 2D games, database work, SQL, T-SQL, management interfaces, Arduino projects in C. I can write and debug almost any kind of code related to oop in a reasonable amount of time.
I've done this kind of projects before checkers, a board game with UI in java swing yours shoud take less time to develop. But we can try chess if you want as it has a higher grade score and it's more popular.
