Chess

A classic game of chess with a hint of artificial intelligence

Under Development

This is a mostly functional game of chess written in java. The project is being developed under the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. There are also some uses of the factory design pattern. The goal is to hopefully use machine learning algorithms to play chess instead of using the traditional brute force method of searching a decision tree.

Running

To run the current version of this chess software, execute the following lines of code in your command console in the .../Chess/src/chess directory:

 java Test

This should cause the chess gui to pop up.

If using bash

in your terminal run

make

from this projects root directory. then it should be compiled then the gui should show up.

If your on windows checkout:
