A simple chess game in Three.js

Chess-3D

A small chess game in created in three.js. It uses webpack as a bundling tool. All the 3D models were created by me in Blender. The game has a simple AI system based on the minimax algorithm with alpha beta pruning. In order to not block the main thread (and do not freeze entire application) the AI is instantiated on a webworker instance.

chess-3d's Issues

Game State management and AI response time update.

Hello there Ernest, I have been using your project for a personal project I have an would like to ask afew questions regarding your game.
Firstly I would like appreciate your and a good game you have built here, really gave me a good insight into game development.
First Question: How can I make the game faster when AI is responding to moves.
Q2: How do I change the game mode to be click to move pieces as opposed to drag to move.

Your feedback will be appreciated. Thank you.
