Here is my first game project: a feature-complete chess engine and chess game written from scratch, along with a user interface.
The project has been created for Linux only and requires the following packages:
libsdl2-dev stockfish
Use make to compile the classic version of the game. Type ./chess-game to launch.
Use make shell to compile a shell version of the game. Type ./shell-chess to launch.
In both versions:
You can specify --sandbox to play against yourself. Otherwise, you will play by default against Stockfish (elo randomly set between 1 400 and 2 000).
At the end of a game, a summary is written in algebraic notation in the terminal.
In classical version:
Use LMB on the right bottom corner to switch the colors of the board, or on the left side of the board to enable/disable the score bar.
You can use RMB to enable visual coordinates indicator and Tab key to enable visual hints.
Use LMB on the right top corner of the window to restart the game. When a game is over, you can also use Enter.
You can use Escape key to quit the game or simply click the cross in the window.
A secret key sequence can unlock an easter egg if typed during a game.
In shell version:
You can specify --blind-mode to play without the terminal board.
Type the move you want to play using algebraic notation (e.g.: 'e4', 'e4-e5', 'Bc4', 'Nf3xg5', 'Qh5xf7#').
Write end to end the game and shut down the program.
