Chessable

A multiplayer volatile raw chess board updating in real time. Uses React Native and SocketIO.

Basically the most “Manual” online chess yet.

Try/Download:

• Android builds are in releases
• The web app isn't hosted anywhere yet, running locally is your only call.
• Didn't develop for iOS, so probably won't run

Running the app:

The app runs with two instances. A server and a client.

• The Server:

The root folder is the server, clone this repo and do:

node index.js

• The Client:

The React Native frontend is located in /frontend. It's made with expo, so to build for Android or similar, refer to expo docs.

To run the app:

cd frontend
npm run web

# Or for Android:
npm run android

To make the client able to connect to the socket server, make sure to update the SocketIO IP address in /frontend/assets/scripts/Socket.js:

import { io } from 'socket.io-client';
const socketUrl = "http://[SERVER-IP]:4000/"
