ESP8266 game

i was wondering if it was possible to make a IO like game on the esp8266
basically i was thinking it would make a WiFi network that you would the go onto 192.168.4.1 and the have sliders and buttons that move a character is this possible? and if so how? thanks

Please imagine you are reading this forum, and you come across your post.

Do you think you have any clue of what the poster has actually in mind doing? I for one don't.

So whether it's possible... well, nothing in that description that obviously tells me it's not possible.

There are Arduino based chess boards. can move the pieces based on inputs.

That's super cool with the chess board, is it possible to do that on the lan of a network made by the esp8266?

The ESP8266 can create it's own LAN (set up one as access point, the rest as station). It's also possible to set up a mesh network with ESP8266 nodes. After that it just depends on what you expect to be doing with it.

Would the lan be able to make a checker board and check the positions of the pieces on the virtual chessboard and act accordingly? Or is that not possible?

A LAN as such has no location awareness.
