shogi-gif

Convert a kifu file into an animated gif, for easy sharing

Usage

Because of the early stage of this project, you can only convert kifu files with extention .kifu into an animated gif. In addition, as long as python-shogi do not fix its KIF parser (PR waiting), you cannot import kifu from 81dojo, because it inserts multiple space between move number and move coordinate. Though, you can remove them by hand to made it works.
