What's ShogiHome
ShogiHome is a desktop shogi app running on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Anyone can get the
source code create their version and distribute it.
Most shogi AIs use
the USI protocol
for integrating with the GUI app. ShogiHome is a front-end app that makes it possible to
communicate with USI-compatible AIs.
These days, 2-in-1 laptops are becoming popular. We can use desktop Shogi apps with a
touch screen. This app is designed to be operated by touch screen too. Also, the Electron
framework gets this app to minimize OS dependency.
