Konig

Oder koenig? Weiß ich nicht.

A Rust-based chess engine, built to support custom implementations and chess variants. In general, it should be just as easy to implement standard chess, hex chess, or an infinite chess board with the traits and definitions in this crate.

Top-level TODOs for v0.1.0

• konig::core
  • The essential traits and definitions for konig.
  • Finalise trait definitions.
  • Investigate: should the given traits be object-safe?
    • This would require removing std::ops::Index from the supertraits of core::board::Board, for example.
  • Complete and review documentation.
• konig::standard
  • An implementation of standard chess using konig::core.
  • Move validation.
  • Move processing.
  • Display implementation.
  • Significant testing.
  • Complete and review documentation.
• konig::io
  • Parsing (and streaming?) for common chess formats.
  • Implement konig::io::fen.
    • Review: should FenData.as_board return a StandardBoard, or a custom Board?
    • Finalise the API on FenData.
    • Add significant testing from real-world datasets.
    • Add and review documentation.
  • Implement konig::io::san.
    • Create structs and basic API.
    • Implement parser with nom.
    • Add significant testing from real-world datasets.
    • Add and review documentation.
  • Implementations for EPD and PGN are blocked until a later time when a konig::core::game::Game trait is implemented (likely deferred to v0.2.0)

Usage

TODO, i.e., DON'T USE THIS LIBRARY YET.

It's still very unfinished.
