Timers

This guide explains how to use timers in Chess barebones.

The Timer Class​

The Timer class from @chess-barebones/core provides a simple chess-like clock with increments.

The TimerProcessor​

The TimerProcessor from @chess-barebones/chess integrates a Timer with the game, ending the game when a player's time runs out.

Example​

import { Timer } from '@chess-barebones/core';
import { TimerProcessor } from '@chess-barebones/chess';

const timer = new Timer({ seconds: 300, increment: 2 });
const withTimer = combineHandlers([new StandardChessInitializer(board), new TimerProcessor(timer)]);
const timedGame = new RegularChess(board, withTimer);
