sharky chess engine
## about
[](https://travis-ci.org/valera-rozuvan/sharky)
Sharky is a UCI chess engine written in C. It plays random legal moves (for now).
## building
### prerequisites
Your system needs to have `make` and `gcc` installed.
### make commands
1. To build, run `make`. Executable `sharky` will be in `./build` directory.
2. To test, run `make test`. Executable `tests` will be in `./build` directory.
3. To clean the project, run `make clean`.
## perft
Perft is provided as a stand alone executable. To build it, run `make perft`. You can then run the executable `./build/perft`. Please provide depth via `--depth` or `-d` CLI param, and position as a FEN string via `--fen` or `-f` CLI param.
For example:
```
./build/perft --depth 5 --fen "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"
./build/perft -d 5 -f "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"
```
