Reti Chess

A lightweight, real-time chess app built in Node, Express, Socket.IO, React, Flux and Immutable. Reti Chess also uses chess.js for move validation and check/mate/draw detection.

You can play the game on www.retichess.com.

Warning

The app is no longer being developed. It works with node v4, but many things are outdated (it uses react 0.13.1 and mixins, no hot reloading, etc.)

If you want to run it locally (with node v4.2):

Clone the repo

Install dependencies

npm install
# create empty logfile for winston logger
mkdir logs
touch logs/games.log

Run the server sh npm start

Preferred way is to run the server with nodemon
```
npm install -g nodemon # if you don't have nodemon installed yet
export NODE_ENV=development
nodemon bin/www
```
- If you want to recompile static assets when you save a file sh npm run build
Running tests
```
npm test
```
- App will run on localhost:3000
