Chessroom is an online multiplayer chess room in which you can play games of chess in real time with your friends, on any device. You can even watch the games your friends are playing on your own screen.
Instant messaging capabilities are soon to come.
Built with Firebase & rebuilt with block.js. Created at HulaLoop/Pythonroom/TechLab.
Hosted at: chessroom.anuv.me
Visit chessroom.anuv.me to play!
Hit New Game on the top right to begin a new game of chess. You are the White player.
To share the game with a friend, send them the Game ID on the top right or the link to the current page, which also contains your Game ID. Your friend must join by visiting your link, chessroom.anuv.me/gameid, on their own device, or by hitting Join Game on the top right and entering your Game ID. When the other player joins, they are the Black player.
To watch other players' games, join a game that already has both a white and black player. Go to chessroom.anuv.me/gameid or hit Join Game on the top right and enter the Game ID. (That game ID is the ID of the game you want to watch). You will be given a spectator ID.
chessroom.ml uses Firebase's database service to store game data. The code is located on GitHub.
