libataxx

A C++ library for the board game Ataxx written using bitboards. Capable of FEN parsing, move generation, board printing, and other things.

Build

git clone https://github.com/kz04px/libataxx
mkdir libataxx/build
cd libataxx/build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Specific make targets exist:

make static
make shared
make tests

Performance

A mid range Intel i5 processor is capable of processing several hundred million nodes per second.

Limitations

Libataxx is specifically designed for Ataxx on a 7x7 board, as such, it does not support any other board size.

Usage

Some of the bit twiddling required for bitboards has been abstracted away, but at least a passing knowledge of bitwise operators is recommended. The 'examples' folder contains some basic examples.

Testing

To run the included tests, navigate to the build directory and then run:

./tests

License

Libataxx and all examples are under the MIT license.
