Move Generators¶
Everything to do with move generators
MoveGenerator¶
-
interface MoveGenerator<B : Board<B, M, GM, P, C>, M : MoveGenerator<B, M, GM, P, C>, GM: Move<B, M, GM, P, C>, P: Piece<B, M, GM, P, C>, C: Coordinate>
Represents a type of the movement of pieces.
- For example, we use four types of moves to describe the movement of standard chess pieces:
Sliders - move along a ray direction until they encounter another piece or the edge of the board
Leapers - perform single steps to specified target squares
Steppers - perform single (repeated) steps in a particular board direction
Hoppers - can move along a ray direction, but must jump over another piece.
- We also use the following conditions as wrappers to describe moves:
CaptureOnly - move can only occur if it captures a piece
NoCapture - move can only occur if it doesn’t capture a piece
Restricted - move can only occur when the piece starts in a specific region
RestrictedDestination - move can only occur if the destination is within a specific region
Composite - This is a wrapper around a list of basic moves to represent composite moves.
To add moves which could result in promotion, we use the ‘AddPromotion’ wrapper which takes in a list of moves which can results in promotion.
We also include a special move ‘Skip’ to skip moves, as in Janggi.
Methods¶

fun generate(board: B, coordinate: C, piece: P, player: Player): List<GM> Generates a list of corresponding game moves.
