Game API

The Game API is the way to create games that run on Jocly and benefit all the features.

Important: at this time, only pure abstract strategy games (two-players, no random, no hidden information) can be implemented in Jocly.

This documentation section is work in progress. For now, you can rely on those sources:

• Jocly basics
• XDView
• Jocly UCT AI engine
• Developing a Chess variant - Warning: only the parts describing the coding of the game are relevant. Everything about the test environment (basic chess starter kit, jquery-jocly plugin, ...) is obsolete: the version of Jocly now available from github makes developing/testing games much more straight-forward.
• Changing Chess pieces - Same warning applies
