ChessEngine is an open source chess engine framework for iOS. The internal ultra-strong chess engine is Stockfish.
You have multiple choices to make use of ChessEngine framework.
- Copy
/ChessEngine/ChessEngineto your project. - Drag-n-drop ChessEngine project to your project. Carthage installation will be supported in the future.
Just a few lines of code:
import ChessEngine
// ..some code..
let engineManager: EngineManager = EngineManager()
engineManager.delegate = self
engineManager.gameFen = someGameFen
engineManager.startAnalyzing()required public func engineManager(_ engineManager: EngineManager, didReceiveBestMove bestMove: String?, ponderMove: String?)
optional public func engineManager(_ engineManager: EngineManager, didAnalyzeCurrentMove currentMove: String, number: Int, depth: Int)
optional public func engineManager(_ engineManager: EngineManager, didReceivePrincipalVariation pv: String)
optional public func engineManager(_ engineManager: EngineManager, didUpdateSearchingStatus searchingStatus: String)ChessEngine framework is inspired by the open sourced project Stockfish for iOS, it’s source code can be downloaded from here. I found this project has not been updated for a long time and it’s internal engine is stockfish 6, while the latest version is stockfish 8. So I decided to create an iOS framework that uses stockfish 8.
Thanks.
