Hey Guys,  
I’ve just released a chess game using Defold.

This is an alpha version, a lot of stuff need to be implemented/fixed.

With that version, you can import Lichess studies, play against bots and create your own bots using a simple LUA script.

A million thanks to the Defold team!

Should be OK now, the open tests regional settings were incomplete.

Seems that the regional propagation was a bit delayed… Should be OK now… At least that what my console says…

Hey Chung\_Xa,  
thanks for your feedback!

The metadata and bots data are not embedded within the app but loaded at first run (then updated when a new version is available).

The app can run offline but needs one first (initialization) connection to the Chess-box server.  
In your case, seems that that those data have not been properly loaded on first run (internet connection down, Chess-box server blocked…);

the app is obviously not supposed to be running without bots data but it seems that I forgot a corner case…  
I’ll cover that case in the next alpha release. In the meantime, you can delete the app-data (or delete the full app…), then restart Chess-box.

I suggest to send any further feedbacks/requests directly to me, I don’t want to spoil that showcases thread which is definitely not an app support thread.
