chess-engine (in progress)

Compact hash-table based implementation of four-player-chess using pygame

Modules needed:

• pygame

IMPORTANT

The images needed to display the pieces can be found in the respository and have to be placed in the same folder as chess_engine.py

TODO/CONTRIBUTING:

• Implement more ways to avoid a check in the in_check() function (e.g. capturing the checking piece)

• Implement the Monte Carlo tree search algorithm

• Implement a neural network to create position tables

• More work needs to be done to improve the overall time-complexity of the chess engine

• Many UI improvements

Disclaimer

This project is created to get a better understanding of game AI algorithms, and is NOT meant to be used for cheating purposes.
