* A TUI wrapper for local play of the game of Tak
** Building
Clone the repo, issue `cargo build` or and enjoy (?)
** Usage
Takwrap supports local play, undo, and starting variant and game
exporting to PTN. See `takwrap -h` for options and details.
Note in particular that `takwrap` supports the following alternate
starting configurations, which are embedded in the exported PTN file
as `[Variant XXX]`.
- CPSn, counter-play start with n=1 is the default
White places a black flat, then black places a white flat. This
repeats n times, after which normal play resumes.
- FCS, forbidden corner start
CPS1 but white may not place the black flat in a corner
- FES, forbidden edge start
CPS1 but white may not place the black flat on an edge
- TPS, two ply start
White places two black flats, then black places a white flat and
normal play resumes.
- CZS, Czech start
White places a black flat, then normal play resumes
** Interfacing with engines
Takwrap does not have computer opponents built in, but instead allows
interfacing with external engine programmes with the `-e` parameter.
It expects the name of an executable in the path which accepts the
name of a file with a game-state in PTN, and which returns a single,
valid move.
See the file `wrap_taktician` for an example of utilising [[https://github.com/nelhage/taktician][Taktician]]
for this purpose.
Note that the engine is expected to respect the `[Variant XXX]` line
in the PTN game-state, so expect breakage with anything but the
default.
