shogi is a traditional and popular board game in Japan, kind of a catagory of chess.

this is a python shogi library that made for fun. (there is a more official one in github)

has not fully tested yet, but work well most of the time.

only test under Python 3.7, Windows 10, but should be work on Python 3.6 and other OS that can run Python.

about library:

all library has 3 main file, shogi.py, goma.py, and board.py

Interface:

.shogi() to start a new game! (get a shogi object to start)

.isUnderOte() check if current chesser is under Ote (checked) return True if yes

.getPML()
	fill possibleMoveList by all possible move, if False, means chesser is 詰み (game over)

.possibleMoveList 
	all possible move, a move is a 3 element tuple, describe like that:
		(oldpos, newpos, nari)
	oldpos is a 2-tuple, means the move is to move the piece on this position
	and newpos is its destination.
	nari is a boolean, true if piece promote after this move.
	position using traditional recording method, suji and dan, from 1 ~ 9

.makeMove(move)
	to make a move, after make a move, chesser will change
	you can only make the move in possibleMoveList   

.moveRecorder
	a list that record all the move in this game
	end with a string that show who is lose

.cameraAngle
	change printout angle of the board, accept '先手' and '後手'

.easyBoardPrint()
	print a board in an easy way
	後手's pieces have a | beside them

.board
	get the current board
	board is a dictionary, key(x, y) correspond to the piece on this position
	all piece is a 2-tuple, like this ('先手', '飛'), or ('後手', '馬')
	key(0, 0) is a list to put mochigoma of sente
	key(10, 0) is a list to put mochigoma of gote
	mochigoma only record the piece style like this '步', '銀', '桂'

.chesser
	get current chesser, has '先手' and '後手'

and there is other trival method that can be used to get some information about board. in practice/ there are some example of using this shogi library

simpleBot.py:

construct a simpleBot by situation valueing, and scalable tree searching.

guitest.py:

test.py with a GUI, images use font from http://modi.jpn.org/font_mushin.php use tkinter to realize that.

verseWeakAI.py:

a shogi game implement to play against a weak bot player
