>>> import ataxx
>>> board = ataxx.Board()
>>> board.makemove(ataxx.Move.from_san("g2"))
>>> board.makemove(ataxx.Move.from_san("a7a5"))
>>> board.get_fen()
'6o/7/o6/7/7/6x/o5x x 1 2'

Features

  • FEN parsing
>>> board = ataxx.Board("startpos")
>>> board = ataxx.Board("x5o/7/2-1-2/7/2-1-2/7/o5x x 0 1")
  • Result detection
>>> board.gameover()
True
>>> board.fifty_move_draw()
False
>>> board.max_length_draw()
False
  • Communication with UAI compatible engines
>>> import ataxx.uai
>>> engine = ataxx.uai.Engine("tiktaxx")
>>> engine.uai()
>>> engine.isready()
>>> engine.name
'Tiktaxx'
>>> board = ataxx.Board()
>>> engine.position(board)
>>> bestmove, ponder = engine.go(movetime=1000)
>>> engine.go(movetime=1000)
('a7b5', None)
>>> engine.quit()
  • Simple players
>>> import ataxx.players
>>> board = ataxx.Board()
>>> move = ataxx.players.greedy(board)
>>> print(move)

  • PGN writing
>>> import ataxx.pgn
>>> board = ataxx.Board()
>>> board.makemove(ataxx.Move.from_san("a7c5"))
>>> board.makemove(ataxx.Move.from_san("b2"))
>>> game = ataxx.pgn.Game()
>>> game.from_board(board)
>>> print(game)
