Fischer random chess (Chess960) randomizer web app based on my fischer960 library.
To quickly get a random starting position for your games (or tournaments), just go to: https://960.fly.dev/
Features:
- Slick, suspenseful animation
- The ID of the starting position is shown below the board (0-indexed)
- To randomize again, hit the R key or the button in the bottom right corner
- To skip the suspenseful animation, hit the Space key or click the board
- Save to home screen to use as an app on smart phones
- It should be accessible, also for screen readers (let me know if it's not!)
Built with SvelteKit, using svelte-canvas to render the 2D chessboard. Deployed to Fly.io.
This was hacked together while watching Fischer Random World Championship 2022, so the code base is a little messy. I couldn't get SvelteKit to run on Fly.io, so it just builds a static page for now. Otherwise it would accept URLs like https://960.fly.dev/518. PRs are welcome!
