ssh-chess is a chess server that runs through the SSH protocol

![](assets/screenshot.png)

## Getting Started

1. Clone this project and `cd` into it

2. Run `ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa` to create a RSA public/private keypair in the current directory for the server to use. Do not give it a passphrase

3. Run `go get -v -d ./...`

4. Run `PORT=2022 go run cmd/ssh-chess/main.go` the ssh server should be running on port `2022` 

5. Run `ssh @localhost -p 2022` to play chess in a random room

## Connecting to Rooms

- Running `ssh @server -p 2022` will connect a user to a random room

- Running `ssh #@server -p 2022` will connect a user to a named room - use this if you want to play a specific user by giving that user the `room-name`
