BetterChess

Special Thanks

Thank you to Github User nagayev for assisting with the build instructions regarding CMAKE as well as some refactoring.

About

This is a chess program that I created in the spring of 2021. I have attempted to make chess many times, and this is my final version (at least for now as of june 2021).

You can watch the video documenting the creation here: https://youtu.be/kwQk5A26cis

To make this be able to run, you will need to link both the SDL library, and the SDL_Image library. Eventually I will make this into a standalone download, but I believe that I will wait until I implement an actual artificial intelligence to play against.

Building

This project use CMake for building.
You need to install cmake and sdl with sdl-image.
Then type cmake . and you will get .vsproj file/Makefile or XCode project (depending on your OS)
