Build from source

Because Raab-bot 🐰 is a UCI chess engine, it's pretty much useless without a GUI. Personally, I'd recommend SCID vs. PC.

Prerequisites

CMake version 3.20 or greater and GCC or MSVC CL (I can't figure out how to get along with clang).

There is a sprinkling of C++20 language features, so if your compiler isn't puttin' up with it, get a newer version! To see if your package manager has one (for Ubuntu-style systems at least) try apt search g++.

Linux

The easiest way to build the latest version is as follows:

git clone https://github.com/de-Manzanares/Raab-bot.git
cd Raab-bot
git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
./build.sh

Windows and Mac 🤷‍♂️

CMake is supposed to be cross-platform, right? I'm sure you can figure it out.

The GitHub workflows in the Status section verify whether this project can be built on Windows and/or Mac. 👍

Thank you to the contributors of lichess-bot. There's no way I could have figured out the Lichess API on my own. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what API stands for...

Thank you to the contributors of Lila (aka Lichess), the coolest online chess platform!

Most of all, a huge thank you to my CS professors and the CS department as a whole. Your well-structured courses and welcoming community sparked a deep interest in C++. 😁

Thank you! 🙏
