Devlog 5

Sorry for the long devlog, some things took longer than expected. First I decided to waste time trying to improve the UI until I remembered I suck at design and just decided to revert to the original design. Then I spent forever wondering why my input textbox would not work properly just for me to change e.target.value to e.currentTarget.value. Although I guess where would the fun be if there was no struggle. Anyways, here are the features I added.

Board Controls

It is now possible to flip the board and go forwards and backwards through moves.

Importing from other sources

This one took a bit of time, but now you can import games from Chess.com, or provide your own PGN/FEN. Later on I’ll probably also add Lichess as an import source as well.
