This app uses a fork of Stockfish (https://github.com/hi-ogawa/Stockfish) that compiles to WebAssembly with Emscripten. Readymade binaries are in the npm package stockfish-nnue.wasm, and the postinstall npm script copies stockfish.wasm, stockfish.worker.js and stockfish.js from there into static/. Then, after including stockfish.js in the html, we can use the global function Stockfish() which initializes the engine.

Two headers required for stuff like SharedArrayBuffer and web workers are set in vercel.json (and vite.config.ts for development).

Developing

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

To deploy your app, you may need to install an adapter for your target environment.
