Checkers 🦅

Simple Checkers engine, that handles all the checkers game logic for you, so you don't have to care. The current implementation uses MCTS(Monte-Carlo Tree Search), in the future, this program might be extended to allow users provide their desired search heuristic algorithm

Available on npm and crates.io

To run flamegraph:

1. Simply install flamegraph with cargo or check FlamegraphRs

How to Run this library:

1. Simply clone this repository and cd into it

2. To use the rust version directly, run: cargo run or cargo watch depending on the mode

3. To generate the wasm build for js target, run: a. wasm-pack build --target bundler for npm targets b. wasm-pack build --target web if you're trying to reference the build directly locally nb: you'd find the build in the pkg folder (root folder)

Todo:

• More robust documentation
• More tests
• Fix releasing packages issue on github with (cross??)
• Examples on how this works
• Explain the architecture of this library

  • The board representation

  • MCTS approach?
