- Import library
from draughts import Game, Move

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")
engine.init()
limit = Limit(time=10)
engine_move = engine.play(game, limit, ponder=False)
- Read PDN games
from draughts.PDN import PDNReader
games = PDNReader(filename=filepath)
game = games.games[0]
moves = game.moves
- Write PDN games
from draughts.PDN import PDNWriter
games = PDNWriter(filename=filepath, board=game)
