Bchess

Why bchess? Becasue BChess love chess :)

Installation

Standard instalation. Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bchess'

And then execute: $ bundle

Or install it yourself as: $ gem install bchess

Usage

Reading chess game from the file

Parsing a game file

file = Bchess::PGN::PGNFile.new('./games_to_read.pgn')
parser = Bchess::PGN::Parser.new(file)
parsed_games = parser.parse

If the file is invalid you will get an error. Otherwise you'll receive an array of games containing games headers and moves in proper order.

Validating game on the board

parsed_game = parser.parse.first
Bchess::PGN::Game.new(parsed_game)

## Getting moves
game.convert_body_to_moves

## Accessing headers
game.header.player_white

Testing

Due to the nature of the gem I tested it on a large amount of games to make sure it covers all or almost all edgecases. Full tests take a lot of time, so you can run a basic test with test.sh script. If you want to run the full suite the run full_test.sh or just rspec spec.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
