What's new
- 0.15.16Terminal chess is clickable, and more scenes draw in the terminal.
In a plain terminal the chess pieces can be clicked again, and the board is a little smaller.
More scenes draw and move in the terminal; scenes made of pictures are swapped for one that can be drawn.
- 0.15.15The terminal scene plays, and chess pieces show.
In a plain terminal the scene now moves while Claude works.
The terminal chess board shows its pieces again, and a click anywhere on a square counts.
The terminal card has its own labelled buttons: Aa, settings and Minimize.
- 0.15.14Artwork in the terminal.
In a plain terminal the pixel-art scenes are painted as coloured blocks while Claude works, and quotes show as text.
The terminal chess board has bigger squares and white and black pieces you can tell apart.
- 0.15.13Chess shows in the terminal, and no update offer on a folder copy.
A copy of textless run straight from a folder no longer shows an update card it could not act on.
The chess board now draws in a plain terminal, as letters on coloured squares, instead of an empty board.
- 0.15.12Sound credits.
The credits for the chess sounds are written down. Nothing else changed.
- 0.15.11Clearer update card messages.
The update card says plainly when textless runs from a folder and there is nothing to update, and the update check points at the card under the newest answer.
- 0.15.10A mistyped command no longer flips the card.
An unknown /textless word shows the list of commands instead of switching the card on or off.
When textless runs from a folder instead of an install, the update card says there is nothing to update.
- 0.15.9The update card shows next to effortless.
The update card now sits under the newest answer, where it shows whether or not effortless is installed.
- 0.15.8The chess sounds ship with textless.
Move, capture, check and game-end sounds, with a few move variants picked by chance. Your own wav files in ~/.claude/textless/sounds still replace them.
/textless debug also logs why the update card above the prompt does or does not show.
- 0.15.6The settings gear works on a Mac, and chess no longer freezes the app.
On a Mac the gear opens the full settings page in the browser instead of the small panel.
The chess opponent thinks without holding the app up, and a game stuck on its turn wakes when you click.
Show all
- 0.15.5A calmer chess board.
The picked chess piece and its moves are highlighted in green instead of orange-red.
The built-in chess opponent takes a second or two to answer instead of snapping back.

- 0.15.2A safety fix for community scenes.
Scenes from the marketplace are checked more strictly for links that load from outside the file.
- 0.15.1One chess board at a time, started with /chess.
Chess is started with /chess and is no longer part of the card's rotation. While a game is open in a chat, the board takes the card there; /chess end brings the scenes back.
One board at a time: with the game open in two chats, only the one that started or took it shows the board.
- 0.15.0Play chess on the card, minimize it, and a few fixes.
Play chess in the chat with /chess, against a built-in opponent. The settings page lists it under Interactive sets with its commands.
Play against a built-in opponent with four levels, or against Claude with /chess claude. Your side is picked by chance.
Piece sounds on every move, with check, win and game over. Sound can be switched off on the board, and your own wav files in ~/.claude/textless/sounds replace the bundled ones.
Minimize the card to one line and bring it back, from the card or under any answer.
Quotes and scenes pick at random each turn, without repeating the last ones.

- 0.9.72One pixel-art card while Claude works, and your questions listed under the answer.
