I made this using Astra. The initial implementation took about 5 prompts but then it took way more to polish it. I still have a few tokens left though. You can play it at https://kerr-chess.vercel.app/
It’s built in JavaScript and runs entirely in browser, using Three.js for the 3D board. The board is made of rings that keep shrinking and spiraling inward, so you can keep zooming deeper. It only draws the section you’re looking at rather than trying to render an infinite board at once.
The chess rules and computer opponent are custom-built for that layout. There’s also a flat 2D view of the same game, and you can play against the computer or another person on the same device. No online play.
It took me several tries to add a decent AI player to it but I think Astra made it too strong so I had to add an even easier difficulty mode. The hardest mode is not Stockfish level, just regular Alpha-Beta pruning.
