Minimal Chess (Bend2)

Human (White) vs random bot (Black), with modular architecture:

• src/Chess/Types.bend
• src/Chess/Engine.bend
• src/Chess/Bot.bend
• src/main.bend

Run

bend src/main.bend --no-strict

Build Artifacts

bend src/main.bend --to-js --no-strict > /tmp/minimal_chess.js
bend src/main.bend --to-web --no-strict > /tmp/minimal_chess.html

Web Preview (With Piece Assets)

To preview the web build with chess-piece SVG files available, run:

./scripts/preview_web.sh

Then open http://127.0.0.1:61424.

GitHub Pages / Deploy Build

The deployed site is served from docs/, so rebuild that directory before pushing deploy changes:

./scripts/build_docs.sh

Engine Assertions

bend src/Chess/Tests.bend --to-js --no-strict > /tmp/minimal_chess_tests.js

Notes for HOC

This project compiles and runs with --no-strict. Strict mode currently rejects this app-style code shape (case-tree validation), so the current Bend2 limitation to report is strict top-level case-tree constraints for richer state-machine/UI code.
