A simple browser based chess game that allows a local chess game. Most of the chess rules are implemented:
- Basic piece movements
- Basic castling (should be improved)
- Check / Checkmate / Stalemate (todo)
- En passant capturing (todo)
Planned features:
- Implement all rules
- Allow for consistent hinting of strategic choices
- Multiplayer games w/ some server component
You will need a local webserver as the code will fetch json files from its own directories. This is not possible without a webserver as you will run into a "Not allowed to load local resources error" on modern browsers.
First, clone the repo. It's all plain vanilla javascript.
If you have python installed, navigate to the /src/public directory and run:
$ python -m http.server 8000
Then you can access the game at http://0.0.0.0:8000
Navigate to the root of the repo and install the dependencies:
$ npm install
Run the server:
$ node src/static-server-app.js
You can access the game at http://127.0.0.1:3000
