# Chess.Mojo 🔥
The first UCI chess engine in the Mojo language. (**WORK IN PROGRESS.**)
## Note
- The current engine is not optimized for speed. It is just a proof of concept.
- The source code was based on [sunfish](https://github.com/thomasahle/sunfish/).
## Roadmap
- [x] Basic UCI support.
- [x] Runable engine.
- [x] Integrate simple GUI for testing.
- [ ] Use native Mojo data structures for speed:
- [ ] History.
- [ ] Board hashing.
- [ ] Move generation.
- [ ] Integrate NNUE.
- [ ] Multi-threading.
- [ ] Add Mojo GUI.
## Usage
- Install [Mojo](https://docs.modular.com/mojo/manual/get-started/).
- Run `mojo engine.mojo` to start the engine.
## Run with simple UI (In terminal)
- Install Python >= 3.8.
- Install required packages
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
- Start the GUI:
```bash
chmod +x ./engine.mojo
python play -cmd ./engine.mojo
```
**Note**: The engine can be run with any UCI compatible GUI. The simple UI is just for quick testing.
## Debugging
- Build the engine with full debug information:
```bash
mojo build --debug-level full engine.mojo
```
- Run the engine with `mojo debug` and use the console just like `gdb` or `lldb`:
```bash
mojo debug engine
```
