Known Bugs

  • Kings will sometimes be allowed to move into check when they shouldn't be
  • On certain displays, the game window will be cut off and UI elements like the "Start Game" button won't appear. This happens when your display is scaling text and apps to something other than 100% scale. Not sure how to fix this other than redoing all assets.

This is really fun and a neat idea for the classic Chess.
