Fenx Chess Library (Unfinished)

Fenx is a Rust library for handling chess game logic. It provides support for parsing Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) strings, handling chess moves in algebraic notation, and more.

Features

Fen Module

The Fen module provides the Fen struct for representing a chess position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN).

Fen Struct

• Constructor: Fen::new(board: &str) -> Fen

  • Creates a new Fen struct from a given board position string.

• Parser: Fen::parse_fen(fen_str: &str) -> Result<Fen, &'static str>

  • Parses a FEN string into a Fen struct.

• Debug Printing: Fen::debug()

  • Prints the values inside the Fen struct for debugging purposes.

• Board Printing: Fen::print_to_board()

  • Prints the chess board to the console.

• Board Conversion: Fen::boardify() -> String

  • Converts the Fen struct into a string representation of a chess board.

Coordinates Module

The Coordinates module provides the Coordinates struct for representing a position on the chess board.

Coordinates Struct

• Constructor: Coordinates { x: i8, y: i8 }

  • Creates a new Coordinates struct with given x and y values.

• From Notation: Coordinates::from_notation(notation: Notation) -> Result<Coordinates, &'static str>

  • Converts a Notation struct into a Coordinates struct.

• To Notation: Coordinates::to_notation(&self) -> Result<Notation, &'static str>

  • Converts the Coordinates struct into a Notation struct.

Notation Module

The Notation module provides the Notation struct for representing a chess move in algebraic notation.

Notation Struct

• Constructor: Notation::new(file: char, rank: char) -> Option<Notation>

  • Creates a new Notation struct with given file and rank values.

• From Coordinates: Notation::from_coordinates(coordinates: Coordinates) -> Result<Notation, &'static str>

  • Converts a Coordinates struct into a Notation struct.

• To Coordinates: Notation::to_coordinates(&self) -> Result<Coordinates, &'static str>

  • Converts the Notation struct into a Coordinates struct.
