A chess game in 3D using WebGL

This 3D chess game is developed using WebGL and JavaScript. This software has been built using the following libraries:

• Ammo.js: A port of the Bullet physics engine from C++ to JavaScript
• Chess.js: An amazing library implementing all the chess rules

Features

The following features are implemented in this game:

• Lighting effects (ambiant, specular and diffuse)
• Multi-lights scene
• Textures and bump mapping
• Reflection and refraction
• Cubemaps
• Multi-material objects
• Animations (forced movement)
• Physics (picking, collision detection)
• Particles & Instancing

An AI algorithm based on Minimax has also been implemented.

Shaders

This program contains 4 shaders:

• Common shader: Used to draw the objects of the scene according to the materials and lights
• Squares shader: Used to render highlighting frames around the squares of possible moves
• Cubemap shader: Used to draw the cubemaps
• Particles shader: Used to draw the particles (for snow, star effects,...)
