Chess game randomizer/creater. It's so random XD!
xdChess takes between [0-2] files as input.
Example use:
xdChess file1 file2
The above line will call xdcess with two files as input: file1 will generate moves for white, and file2 will generate moves for black.
Example input for two files:
File 1:
e4 Nf3 Bc4
File 2:
e5 Nc6 Bc5
xdChess file1
Call xdchess with one file as input. Both white and black's moves are derived from this file.
You can also call xdChess with no input, in which case it read from stdin.
Example input for one file:
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Bc5
Example:
cat myFile.txt | xdchess
The dash character - represents standard input.
For Example:
xdChess file1 -
White's moves come from file1, black's moves come from standard input. If it is given one file, it will divide the spaces evenly, alternating the moves for white and black.
xdChess - file2
This is the same as before, except white's moves now come from stdin and black's moves come from file2.
Calling xdchess with only stdin as an input file is the same as calling xdchess with no input files.
In other words: cat test.txt | xdchess - is the same as cat test.txt | xdchess
| Flag | Argument | What | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| -a | Alternating | Alternates between white and black (default behaviour) | |
| -m | Middle | Read entire file and split moves down the middle | |
| -x | integer | Max moves | Maximum amount of moves to create before quitting |
| -b | integer | Max bytes | Maximum amount of bytes to read from a file before deriving moves |
Flags with no argument are called on their own.
Example:
xdchess -a
Flags that take arguments use the -f=arg syntax.
Example:
xdchess -x=420
