In order to launch the JavaChess.jar, you need the newest version of Java (Linux and Windows). Download JDK so you are also able to contribute to the software. On Windows simply open the jar with "java". On Linux open the software with "java -jar JavaChess.jar"
It is basically a highschool thesis.
What is my thesis about? We develop a chess game in Java. The GUI is the JavaFX GUI and we create an AI (Artificial Intelligence). Further we develop the game to be played on a Raspberry Pi or Android Device.
