Installation Instructions

Make Sure that your Device has OpenGL Graphics installed. Open the terminal in the current directory and compile the game using the following command :

g++ chessInterface.cpp -lglut -lGL -lGLU

And now you can execute the game using the command :

./a.out

GLChess

A Chess program using OpenGl written entirely in C++. (Yes even the piece shapes have been stored in array data!)

Contributors: Alan JohnAmitav Soni

This project was made for our 4th semester's academic project

This is how it looks

Demo

Running the game

It is important to run a program to check all possible legal moves which requires analysis into the rules of chess.
The AI was made using Min-Max Technique in Game Decision Tree with Alpha-Beta pruning for time optimization.

Possible updates

  1. Parallel Processing with Iterative Deepening to improve efficiency.
  2. A graphical interface menu to make it more user friendly.
  3. Support for En Passant's Move.

Please feel free to suggest improvements
