## Installation

```bash
pip install py-draughts
```


### [Documentation](https://michalskibinski109.github.io/py-draughts/)

## Key features

-  Displays simple ascii board for different variants of the game.

```python
>>> board = get_board('standard', "W:W4,11,28,31,K33,K34,38,40,K41,43,K44,45,K46,47:BK3,21,27,32")
>>> board
 . . . . . B . w . .
 . . . . . . . . . .
 . w . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . . . .
 . b . . . . . . . .
 . . b . w . . . . .
 . w . b . W . W . .
 . . . . w . . . w .
 . W . . . w . W . w
 W . w . . . . . . .

>>> board = get_board("american")
>>> board
 . b . b . b . b
 b . b . b . b .
 . b . b . b . b
 . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . .
 w . w . w . w .
 . w . w . w . w
 w . w . w . w .

```

- Make and undo moves

```python
>>> board.push_uci("31-27")
>>> board.pop() # undo last move
Move: 31->27
>>> board.turn
Color.WHITE
```

- detects draws and wins

```python
>>> board.game_over
False
>>> board.is_threefold_repetition
False
>>> board.is_5_moves_rule
False
>>> board.is_16_moves_rule
False
>>> board.is_25_moves_rule
False
>>> board.is_draw
False
```
_Each variant has it's own specyfic rules._

- Validate and generate moves

```python
>>> board.push_uci("31-22")
ValueError: 31-22 is correct, but not legal in given position.
Legal moves are: ['31-27', '31-26', '32-28', '32-27', '33-29', '33-28', '34-30', '34-29', '35-30']

>>> list(board.legal_moves)
['31-27', '31-26', '32-28', '32-27', '33-29', '33-28', '34-30', '34-29', '35-30']
```

- Reads and writes fen strings

```python
>>> board = get_board('standard', "W:W4,11,28,31,K33,K34,38,40,K41,43,K44,45,K46,47:BK3,21,27,32")
>>> board.fen
'[FEN "W:W4,11,28,31,K33,K34,38,40,K41,43,K44,45,K46,47:BK3,21,27,32"]'
```
- Has simple engine

```python
>>> from draughts.engine import AlphaBetaEngine
>>> engine = AlphaBetaEngine(depth=5)
>>> engine.get_best_move(board, with_evaluation=True)
Move: 28->37, 3.0
```

## UI

1. Allows to play against AI.
2. Allows to play vs another player. (on the same computer)
3. Allows to test and find bugs in your engine.

```python
python -m draughts.server
```

#### Use for testing your engine.



_Example with simplest possible engine._



```python
>>> from draughts.server import Server
>>> import numpy as np
>>> get_best_mv = lambda board: np.random.choice(list(board.legal_moves))
>>> server = Server(get_best_move_method=get_best_mv)
>>> server.run()
INFO:     Started server process [1617]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

_It is as simple as that!_
