Description:

I needed to refresh my Python knowledge. And what better than making a chess game... to play from the terminal console? 😁

Yes, made in Python and only using Numpy and Rich as third-party libraries (the only dependencies needed to run the script).

Installation:

  1. If you don't already have it, install the latest version of Python from the oficial website.

  2. Download this repository:

    • If you like to use the terminal console:

      git clone https://github.com/FedeHC/chess-on-terminal.git

    • Or just download the zip file from the current repository and unzip it in any folder.

  3. Use a virtual enviroment (like Virtualenv) and install dependencies in cloned/unziped folder:

    a) Install:

    > pip install venv

    b) Create virtual enviroment:

    > virtualenv chess

    c) Activate enviroment:

    (chess)> source bin/activate

    d) Install dependencies:

    (chess)> pip install -r requirements.txt

Run:

And that's it. 😃
