Mathematica-Chess

Introducing Mathematica-Chess

This Project has been created during the Oxford WLAS18 (Wolfram Language Autumn School). The goal was to create a project, in order to discover the language. After hours of reflexion, we decided to create a chess game.

Of course, it's not finished yet because the Autumn School was not long enough. But we'll continue to create, develop and improve the game to something great we'll share to the community.

What's next ?

Now, we'd like to add more content and fix bugs. Here is the list of we'll do as soon as possible:

Add a timer for movements
Improve UI by adding a way to know which player has to play
Create an AI and improve it

Important information

In order to run the code, you'll need mathematica installed on your computer. You can find more information here about the software.
The License of the package (and all this git's content) can be found here.

About Oxford WLAS18

Here is the list of all projects which has been done :

Chess Game
Tetris Game
Tracking Hugogo (Video to Stickman Graph converter)
Disease propagation in an hospital
Reducing CO2 emission in the USA

If you're wondering if it's interesting to go to the WLAS or to the WLSS, the following lines are for you :
You'll discover a programming language which is particularly adapted for mathematics. You can compute loads of things, that other languages can't do (or not as simpler). With Mathematica, you can do whatever you want, without having computing knowledge (or almost without). You can render your results with just a few lines of code, solve equations on the fly, use data from the wolfram's databases (on almost every topic)... And more than coding and creating programs, you'll have fun with an awesome group and all the activities you'll take part in. ― Alban Sdl 2018
