Chessboard.js #1

Hi,

As a user of Garbochess, I was happy to see your new jQuery wrapper. Good work! I always thought it would be cool to make GarboChess work with chessboard.js, what do you think?

syntithenai commented 9 years ago

To what end? Garbochess provides UI, move validation AND AI. I looked at those two first but I wanted a decent computer AI. Chessboard.js has a prettier API but hey, garbochess is accessible and hackable and by all reports is the best javascript AI.

I just think the combination of Chessboard.js's great UI with Garbochess's great AI would be the best of both worlds. I started doing that with one of my now-on-hold chess projects, and might revisit it in the future.

Both worlds? What is great about the UI in chessboard.js that could be used in jquery.garbochess ?

It looks nicer (than Garbochess) by default, it includes the grid numbers, piece themes (so you can change the UI's theme easily), as well as a nice API for interacting with the board and hooking into events. And it doesn't depend on jQuery-UI

ta will look into that. currently trying to get it to work with pouchUI so I have collaborative. https://github.com/syntithenai/pouchUI
