Chess Mini App — is the Telegram Mini App that enables Telegram users to easily play the classical game with each other without leaving the Telegram app.

Create a lobby by following the link t.me/MiniChessBot/new-game. After filling a form, bot will send you a link to the lobby that you can share with your friend and start playing!

Chess Mini App consits of two parts:

1. Web App — the frontend part of the Mini App, that is responsible for creating a new lobby;
2. Server — the backend part of the Mini App, that is responsible for creating a new lobby.

Chess Mini App actually consists of two Web Apps:

1. First is used to provide an interface for a user to create a new lobby;
2. Second one is actually for playing chess in the created lobby.

Check out their implementation details in the web-app directory.

Chess Mini App is the multiplayer game, it means that two players need to communicate somehow. Therefore, a separate server is required. See server directory for the Chess server implementation details.

Both frontend and backend are written in TypeScript and all packages installed via pnpm package manager, so it's a prerequisite.

For more details on how to setup each part, check out the corresponding README.md files for server and web-app.

Project also uses ESLint for linting and formatting that keeps the codebase consistent and easy to read. Check out the ESLint config file for more details.
