Metachess Developers

1. Overview

Metachess provides tools and interfaces for developers, modders, and researchers who want to extend the platform, create custom game modes, or integrate with other applications. The developer environment is designed to be stable, flexible, and secure, enabling contributions without affecting the core gameplay.

2. Workshop

  • The Workshop is a library of user-created game modes, configurations, and extensions.
  • Users and developers can submit, share, and test modes in a controlled environment.
  • All submissions are moderated for safety, legality, and adherence to platform rules.
  • Users retain ownership of their content but grant Metachess the right to host and display it within the platform.

3. API Access

  • Metachess offers APIs for accessing game data, player statistics, and match information.
  • The API is designed to support research, integrations, analytics, and external tools.
  • API keys may be required for access and are governed by separate API terms.
  • Misuse of the API, including unauthorized access or excessive requests, may result in suspension of API access.

4. Development Guidelines

  • Developers should follow coding standards and documentation provided for the platform.
  • Extensions and mods must not compromise platform security, stability, or fair play.
  • Any third-party libraries or dependencies must comply with applicable licenses.

5. Contribution and Feedback

  • Developers are encouraged to contribute ideas, report issues, and provide improvements.
  • Bug reports and suggestions can be submitted via the official GitHub repository or dedicated developer channels.
  • Significant contributions may be acknowledged publicly in release notes or credits.

6. Limitations

  • Modifications to core platform code are restricted to prevent disruptions to live services.
  • Developers must not use the platform to collect sensitive user information without explicit consent.
  • Any public distribution of tools or mods must comply with Metachess content and community guidelines.

7. Updates and Roadmap

  • The developer section of Metachess will evolve alongside the main platform.
  • Updates will include new API endpoints, enhanced Workshop functionality, and improved documentation.
  • Developers will be notified of significant changes that may affect integrations.
