🤖 ChessKitEngine

A Swift package for chess engines.

ChessKitEngine implements the Universal Chess Interface protocol for communication between chess engines and user interfaces built with Swift.

Usage

• Add a package dependency to your Xcode project or Swift Package:

.package(url: "https://github.com/chesskit-app/chesskit-engine", from: "0.1.0")

• Next you can import ChessKitEngine to use it in your Swift code:

import ChessKitEngine

// ...

Features

• Initialize an engine and set response handler

let engine = Engine(type: .stockfish)

// set response handler
engine.receiveResponse = { response in
    print(response)
}

engine.start()

• Send UCI protocol commands

import ChessKit
let position = Position()

if engine.isRunning {
    engine.send(command: .stop)
    engine.send(command: position)
    engine.send(command: .go(depth: 15))
}

• Terminate engine communication

engine.stop()
