chessbot
discord bot for chess
Libaries
- discord.py
- python-chess
- cairo2svg for picture rendering
- and all of their dependencies
This requires Python 3.5+.
What it does currently
- allow for two players in a discord chat to play chess
- each move will display an image updated with your current move
- the bot will tell you if you make illegal moves/out of turn moves
- adheres to strict syntax i.e. (nc5 must be Nc5)
What it should do in the future
- a !help command listing out valid commands
- a way to store games for persisent storage/multiple games at once in a discord room
- a way to keep track of win/loss against a certain user
- a clean way to offer a draw
- a command to show the notation of a match
- get hosted on a cheap server that isn't my own computer
