Multiplayer capabilities #7

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

I think that it would be really good if this Chess app had multiplayer capabilities so that one could play with someone else who has this app, or it could even just be people on the same network with the app installed, but whatever it is, some sort of multiplayer capabilities would be good.

Agreed that would be very cool, wouldn't be overly hard to write, I'll look into it.

Interested in this still?

For sure, multiplayer would be great. Wonder if it would be possible to use this as a front end for an established chess platform (chess.com, lichess, etc). Could make this task significantly easier.

jeromew21 commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately lichess and Chess.com don't have live chess API's as far as I know. I've started to work on adding functionality to play on the same network (and presumably not only limited to that, if you do port forwarding)

I think lichess now has an API, and a cli tool was posted in another issue here (lichess-cli) and allows resuming ongoing games. There's a more official lichs too but as far as I understand it only allows matchmaking. It would be great if cl-chess could make use of that API and include one of those features (or both) to have a common interface for single player and multiplayer.
