WARNING: GUI breaks at aspect ratios other than 16:9
A Chess GUI in Unity.
Supported game modes: Pass & Play, or against UCI chess engine(Stockfish, etc)
Shipped this project!
WARNING: The GUI scale breaks at any aspect ratio other than 16:9. If your aspect ratio is different, please change the resolution from settings temporarily.
This is a desktop application that lets you play chess offline, with all features, like going back moves to review your game, playing against an engine, exporting FEN and PGN, etc. To set up an engine, download a UCI compatible engine of your choice(mostly stockfish), and from the Engines tab, navigate to the downloaded executable, and add it. You can now select this engine as your opponent while playing.
Built for windows & published to itch.io!
(The linux and mac builds were not fully tested, so I took them down temporarily)

I can’t see the Linux and macOS
Completed the app, and now (nearly) ready for shipping, after just a few minor patches and build!
Updates:
- Added an export tap for FEN & PGN
- Added a captured pieces and points advantage section
- Now set player names, both for yourself and engine.

Added a chess timer! Has a red theme for time < 1 min.
This integrates with the move history, so if you go back into the game, the time also rewinds.

Added game rewind!
Now you can select a move from the move history, and go back to that position. Playing a move from there will revert the game to that state, essentially acting like a rewind/takeback.

Added an engine selector dialog where you can browse for your own downloaded UCI chess engine!
All added engines get stored in the game configuration, which is loaded on startup. These engines can be selected as an opponent in the New Game dialog

Added basic game logic and piece movement!
No detection for concepts like check/checkmate, so you can just capture someone’s king! (as in the video)
