Chess Oxide
A chess engine written in Rust.
Features
- Move Generation: Efficient move generation for all pieces using a mailbox system.
- Position Representation: Uses a 64-square array for position representation.
- Board Representation: Data and functions required to run a chess game.
- Zobrist Hashing: Implements Zobrist hashing for fast position comparison.
- Perft Testing: Performance testing for move generation.
- Error Handling: Error handling for user facing functions.
- GUI Integration: Basic GUI for visualizing the board and moves using Slint.
- FEN/PGN Implementations: Implementation of FEN and PGN standards for import/export of board states.
- Engine: Implemented using a negamax algorithm implementing alpha/beta pruning.
- Transposition Table: Implementation of a Transposition Table to use with engine.
- Engine Debug Feature: Enabling 'debug_engine_logging' feature gives detailed breakdown of the nodes searched in engine.
- Logging: Library uses 'log' crate and frontends use 'env_logger'.
Installation
To build and run the project, ensure you have Rust installed. Clone the repository and run:
cargo build [--bin] [--release]
Usage
To run the chess engine with the GUI:
cargo run --bin chess-gui [--release]
To run the basic performance test:
cargo run --bin chess-perft [--release]
Example using environment variable RUST_LOG for env_logger configuration:
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --bin chess-gui --release
