Struct bughouse::BoardBuilder

pub struct BoardBuilder { /* fields omitted */ }

Represents a chess position that has not been validated for legality.

This structure is useful in the following cases:

• You are trying to build a chess board manually in code.
• The Board structure will try to keep the position fully legal, which will prevent you from placing pieces arbitrarily. This structure will not.
• You want to display the chess position in a UI.
• You want to convert between formats like FEN.

use chess::{BoardBuilder, Board, Square, Color, Piece};
use std::convert::TryFrom;
let mut position = BoardBuilder::new();
position.piece(Square::A1, Piece::King, Color::White);
position.piece(Square::A8, Piece::Rook, Color::Black);
position.piece(Square::D1, Piece::King, Color::Black);

// You can index the position by the square:
assert_eq!(position[Square::A1], Some((Piece::King, Color::White)));

// White is in check, but that's ok, it's white's turn to move.
assert!(Board::try_from(&position).is_ok());

// Now White is in check, but Black is ready to move.  This position is invalid.
position.side_to_move(Color::Black);
assert!(Board::try_from(position).is_err());

// One liners are possible with the builder pattern.
use std::convert::TryInto;

let res: Result<Board, _> = BoardBuilder::new()
                       .piece(Square::A1, Piece::King, Color::White)
                       .piece(Square::A8, Piece::King, Color::Black)
                       .try_into();
assert!(res.is_ok());

assert_eq!(bb.get_en_passant(), Some(Square::D5));

pub fn side_to_move(&'a mut self, color: Color) -> &'a mut BoardBuilder

Set the side to move on the position

This function can be used on self directly or in a builder pattern.

use chess::{BoardBuilder, Color};
BoardBuilder::new()
             .side_to_move(Color::Black);      

let mut bb = BoardBuilder::new();
