Chess game written in V programming language(in development) Thank you for your stars
The game is unfinished and unplayable now
You need Vlang installed to play: https://vlang.io
to build use:
# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/xn0px90/vchess/
# 2. Build project
cd vchess && v .
# 3. Executable file named "vchess" will appear. Executable have to be in the same folder with assets/
./vchess
This is a non-fatal warning emitted by the sokol graphics library when it cannot query the system DPI from the display server (common in minimal X11 sessions, containers, or remote desktops). The game continues with a default scale of 96 DPI.
If the UI appears too small or too large you can override the DPI scale:
VCHESS_DPI_SCALE=1.5 ./vchess # e.g. 1.5× scaling on a HiDPI displayTo set a persistent Xft DPI value for your X11 session:
echo 'Xft.dpi: 96' >> ~/.Xresources
xrdb -merge ~/.XresourceseglChooseConfig() returned no configs means the EGL driver found no matching
OpenGL framebuffer configuration. This happens when:
- GPU drivers are missing, broken, or mismatched (Mesa vs NVIDIA).
- Running inside a container or remote session without
/dev/driaccess. - Wayland / XWayland backend mismatch.
Quick fix — force software (Mesa llvmpipe) rendering:
./vchess --software
# or equivalently:
./vchess --disable-gpu
# or via environment variable:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./vchessSoftware rendering works everywhere but is slower than GPU rendering.
Verify your EGL / GL stack:
echo "session=$XDG_SESSION_TYPE desktop=$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"
