Project description
pydraughts
pydraughts is a draughts library for Python with move generation and engine communication. It is based on ImparaAI/checkers.
Features
Note: White always starts. Black always has the squares starting from 1 (e.g. 1-20 in international draughts).
Variants:
- Standard (International)
- Frisian
- frysk!
- Antidraughts
- Breakthrough
- Russian
- Brazilian
- English/American
- Italian
Engine protocols:
- Hub
- DXP
- CheckerBoard
- Import library
from draughts import Game, Move
- Create a game
game = Game(variant="standard", fen="startpos")
- Make a move
game.move([34, 30])
- Get legal moves
moves, captures = game.legal_moves()
- Convert move to other types
move = Move(game, board_move=moves[0]).pdn_move
- Get fen
fen = game.get_li_fen()
- Communicate with engines
from draughts.engine import HubEngine, Limit
engine = HubEngine("scan.exe hub")
enigne.hub()
engine.init()
limit = Limit(time=10)
engine_move = engine.play(game, limit, ponder=False)
