CheSSH – play multiplayer chess over SSH
- rasjonell 7mo agoI wrote a small Go project that turns an SSH connection into a live chess session instead of a shell. ssh chessh.org It uses Bubble Tea for the terminal UI, and supports hosting/joining rooms with real-time move sync and chat. I mostly made it as an experiment in building a multiplayer terminal app over SSH, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun.
- vunderba 7mo agoNice job. Funnily enough I just saw another Go-based terminal multiplayer chess app not too long ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46870516 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46870516 https://gitlab.com/philbooth/pawno https://gitlab.com/philbooth/pawno Some feedback: Assuming that the shell supported unicode, you could also use the actual standard chess symbols for the pieces.
