Anamnesis

Anamnesis is a web-based chess analyse software with a Julia backend. The goal is to be able to analyse chess games you or your opponent played as a batch and get insights on how to improve. So far it only does a single analysis as it is at the very early stage of development.

Features

• Interactive chess board interface
• Backend game logic and API
• Database integration for game or user data
• Ability to download chess games

Installation

To set up the project, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Node.js (for frontend dependencies)
• Julia (for backend)
• Stockfish (chess engine)
• Vite (frontend development server)

Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the project root directory (e.g., cd chess-project):

   cd <project-root>

2. Install Node.js dependencies:

   npm install

3. To start the development server:

   npm run dev

Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Activate the Julia environment and install dependencies (if any):

   julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'

3. Repeat for the download directory if it has its own Julia environment:

   cd download
   julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'

Usage

Starting the Backend Server

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd backend

2. Run the server:

   julia --project=. server.jl
