An online infinite chess game, implemented with rust, wasm, and vanilla JS.
You can play it locally [here](https://alephzerochess.com/!
The game is played with a standard chess board, except it extends infinitely in both directions. Additionally, the knight's movement is slightly reinterpretted to help keep it on par with the bishop (which would be able to move infinitely farther than the knight otherwise). The pieces are placed where they would be normally relative to each other.
Simply click the piece you want to move, and then click where you want to move it to. Options will be displayed in orange. On desktop, you may click and drag a piece where you want it to go. On mobile, however, clicking and dragging will pan the "camera" of the game. On both desktop and mobile, you can also either edit the camera position text boxes, or use the + and - buttons, to move the camera.
The project's backend is written in rust. The front end is written in standard vanilla JS+CSS+HTML, but utilizes wasm to avoid having to re-write the move validator in JS.
To build the front end, run wasm-pack build --target web and then copy the resulting pkg directory into the static directory.
To build the game server, run cargo build --bin server --features="server".
The game currently takes no arguments and only listens on port 8080. Simply run the executable, perhaps by running ./target/debug/server.
You must run the server from the backend directory of the project, as it uses resources from the static directory. Sorry about that.
