CheSSH

A multiplayer chess game playable via SSH.

Important

It's pronounced like "chess-ess-aych", or "chesh" in your best Sean Connery impression.

Play the game

ssh chessh.imjasonh.dev

You may need to wait for another player to play against, or join from another terminal to play against yourself.

Usage

# Run SSH server locally
go run ./ -port 2222

# Connect to server
ssh localhost -p 2222

# (In another terminal) Connect another player session
ssh localhost -p 2222

Players are automatically matched when they connect to the SSH server.

When an opponent disconnects, you win!

Deploying

cd iac/
terraform init
terraform apply

This will create a GKE Autopilot cluster, Cloud Run service, host key secret, GCLB, routing rules, etc., to be able to host the server on the internet.
