Dice Chess TV

Credits and licences

Dice Chess TV combines open-source code with public domain and permitted creative assets. This page details the licences governing every component of the application.

Application & Core Engine

Section titled “Application & Core Engine”

Artwork & Visual Assets

Section titled “Artwork & Visual Assets”

Chess Pieces

Section titled “Chess Pieces”
  • Source: Vector Chess Pieces Pack by RhosGFX (version 1.0.0).
  • Licence: Dedicated to the public domain under Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal.
  • Usage: 12 vector SVG pieces (White and Black Outline variants) are compiled into inline JSX components (native/src/pieces/) for rendering via @amazon-devices/react-native-svg.

Opponent portraits

Section titled “Opponent portraits”
  • Source: Rolly, Grabby and Rampage, drawn for Dice Chess by Fortemate with Recraft on a paid plan.
  • Licence: Fortemate’s own, for Fortemate’s Dice Chess apps only. Not covered by the AGPL or by any other open licence.
  • Usage: The opponent cards and the game screen show them. While the repository is public the portrait files are kept out of it, and a build without them shows the emoji faces below instead. The About screen shows the portraits beside Recraft’s name, so that a player knows they are AI-generated. The screenshots on this site show them as the app draws them, and those pictures are not under the AGPL either.

Opponent Bot Avatars

Section titled “Opponent Bot Avatars”
  • Source: Vector Emojis by RhosGFX (Outline set).
  • Licence: Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal.
  • Usage: In a build without the portraits, three emojis represent the local computer opponents: Zany face for Rolly (Easy), Money mouth face for Grabby (Medium), and Smiling face with horns for Rampage (Hard). The About screen then credits them with the pieces.

Brand & App Icon

Section titled “Brand & App Icon”
  • The Fortemate Name & Logo: Copyright © Fortemate. All rights reserved. The Fortemate brand marks in native/brand/ are not licensed under the AGPL.
  • The Application Icon: Designed by Fortemate using two RhosGFX CC0 pieces (knight and rook) on a warm orange background. Copyright © Fortemate.

Platform Dependencies & SDK

Former Dependencies (Removed)

Section titled “Former Dependencies (Removed)”
  • Chessground & Svelte: Utilized during the initial feasibility probe on Vega SDK 0.23. Following WebView instability on SDK 0.24, the web probe was entirely removed.
