How to Run Sunfish... #89

Closed SLW2K closed 3 years ago

SLW2K commented 3 years ago

I was told by someone else here on GitHub that "python chess programs" could be run by just downloading and using PYPY (I don't need to install Python). So I grabbed PyPy 3.8 (https://www.pypy.org/download.html) for Windows 64-bit.

I have PyPy 3.8, and I have your Sunfish.zip, and I have the Python Chess 1.7.0.zip. I have PyPy 3.8 unzipped to C:\PYPY on my hard drive. Now what do I do?

In your terminal, you should write path_to_pypy path_to_sunfish.py.

If that doesn't answer your question, I'm afraid I can't really help. I'm not on Windows. But there are some videos you could watch like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn1HF3oD19c

You can also play against sunfish on Lichess.

Thanks Thomas, I'll let you know if I get it running. I have been playing it on Lichess, the Rust version - fun opponent. Would you ever consider doing a Java version?
