RayChess Installation Guide

Quick Start

The easiest way to start playing RayChess is to download RayChess.zip :

  1. Download RayChess-v0.1.0.zip from the release page
  2. Extract the ZIP file to any location on your computer
  3. Run raychess-v0.1.0.exe to start playing

The complete package contains the executable and all required resources (images, sounds,) and a text file which is used to store the game in series of FEN string.

Building from Source

If you prefer to build RayChess yourself:

  1. Download Source code (zip) or Source code (tar.gz) from the release page
  2. Extract the archive to your development directory
  3. Open a terminal in the extracted directory
  4. Build the project using make
  5. The executable will be created in your development directory

Build Requirements

  • GCC or compatible C++ compiler
  • Raylib
  • Make

Troubleshooting

Missing Images or Resources

If you're seeing missing graphics when running the standalone executable, make sure Raychess.exe is in the same folder as images and sounds folder.

Build Errors

If you encounter compilation errors when building from source, make sure raylib is properly installed on your system. See the README file in the source package for detailed information.
