A terminal-based chess puzzles interface. The inspiration behind it comes from chess puzzles at chess.com. This project was made possible because of two awesome projects, termloop as the game engine and chess as the chess mechanics/engine.
A binary release is still on the making so until then you will need Golang
to compile and run the source yourself. You can either install Golang
or use Docker with the following command docker run -ti golang /bin/bash
to have a proper environment to run this project.
These are the commands to get the source, compile and run:
go get -u github.com/vhugo/chess-puzzles.git
go install github.com/vhugo/chess-puzzles.git
$GOPATH/bin/chess-puzzlescommands are keywords you can type that are liked to an action:
| commands | description |
|---|---|
| !new | get a new puzzle, if available |
| !hint | highlight the next move of the puzzle, but marks it as failed. |
| e2e3 | move a piece from square e2 to e3 if the move is legal |
| e7e8q | move a piece from square e7 to e8 and promote pawn to queen if the move is allowed |
To move you pieces on the board use long algebraic notation in Universal Chess Interface (UCI) format.
key bindings are keystrokes (shortcuts) linked to an action:
| keys | description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+C | exits the game |
| Ctrl+U | clean the input area |
| Enter | submit your command |
