Detailed Description

A chess engine which uses the UCI chess interface.

UCI's specifications: http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/UCIProtocol.html

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UciEngine::UciEngine ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

Creates a new UciEngine.

Member Function Documentation

void UciEngine::clearPonderState ( )

virtual

Clears the player's pondering state.

Reimplemented from ChessPlayer.

void UciEngine::endGame ( const Chess::Result & result )

virtual

Tells the player that the game ended by result.

Note: Subclasses that reimplement this function must call the base implementation.

Reimplemented from ChessEngine.

bool UciEngine::isPondering ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns true if the engine is currently thinking on the opponent's move; otherwise returns false.

Reimplemented from ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::makeBookMove ( const Chess::Move & move )

virtual

Forces the player to play move as its next move.

Reimplemented from ChessPlayer.

void UciEngine::makeMove ( const Chess::Move & move )

virtual

Sends the next move of an ongoing game to the player. If the player is in force/observer mode, the move wasn't necessarily made by the opponent.

Implements ChessPlayer.

void UciEngine::parseLine ( const QString & line )

protectedvirtual

Parses a line of input from the engine.

Implements ChessEngine.

QString UciEngine::protocol ( ) const

virtual

Returns the engine's chess protocol.

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::sendOption	(	const QString &	name,
		const QVariant &	value
	)

protectedvirtual

Tells the engine to set option name's value to value.

Implements ChessEngine.

bool UciEngine::sendPing ( )

protectedvirtual

Sends a ping command to the engine. Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::sendQuit ( )

protectedvirtual

Sends the quit command to the engine.

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::sendStop ( )

protectedvirtual

Sends the stop command to the engine.

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::startGame ( )

protectedvirtual

Starts the chess game set up by newGame().

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::startPondering ( )

virtual

Tells the player to start pondering (thinking on the opponent's move). The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented from ChessPlayer.

void UciEngine::startProtocol ( )

protectedvirtual

Puts the engine in the correct mode to start communicating with it, using the chosen chess protocol.

Implements ChessEngine.

void UciEngine::startThinking ( )

protectedvirtual

Tells the player to start thinking of the next move.

The player is guaranteed to be ready to move when this function is called by go().

Implements ChessPlayer.
