=======

@ssoudan

This is a basic implementation of a chess playing program in Haskell.

# Description

- based on a minimax with Alpha-Beta pruning AI

- UI is in reactive-banana-wx

# Build instructions

You'll need to install reactive-banana-wx and wxhaskell. Once that is done, cabal build will do the rest and build a Mac OSX app in dist/build/hsChess.app/ with all the dependencies included.

# TODO

- [x] add manual strategy

- [x] improve UX

- [x] Mac packaging

- [x] store the history in the State rather than the latest state (using DList)

- [x] add castling moves

- [x] web UI or GUI

- [x] check detection and move selection

- [x] mate detection

- [x] show possible moves

- [x] parallelize the evaluation of the options

- [x] async computation of moves and push notification on completion

- [x] enter moves with DnD

- [ ] split the current turn into each player turn so we can show the move of real player more quickly and pave the way to PvP

- [ ] show when the soft is busy computing a move and disable interactions

- [ ] stalemate detection

- [ ] test moves (shows best response moves of each player up to the horizon for a given option)

- [ ] non-linear game history with bookmarks

- [ ] pawn conversion

- [ ] save/restore games

- [ ] start from predefined states

- [ ] gamification: Achievements to learn chess
