A little application to render FEN positions in the console with UTF-8 characters.
Ambitions to turn into a fully fledged chess application that supports external chess engines.
Usage: ./u8cc [OPTION]... [FEN]
A little application to render FEN positions in the console with UTF-8 characters.
-h, --help display this message and exit
-f, --file FILE instead of from the arguments, read the FEN from
FILE, or when FILE is -, read from standard input
--stdin equivalent to -f -
-d, --double-size print the chess board in a larger font. This may
not be supported by all consoles
-i, --invert-board print the board from black's perspective
Example:
Note: Only the position part until the first space in the FEN string is required. The rest after it is ignored anyways.
This is CMake project.
So all you have to do to build it is run these commands
cmake .
make
Then you'll have the binary u8cc in the same directory.
If you just want to build the binary without the tests, append the parameter
u8cc to the make command.
