Negascout search with a few additional bells and whistles. We support callbacks for transposition cache lookup, or an option to fall back to alpha-beta (don't do the null window searches). The latter can be useful for a "shallow search first" heuristic.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'negascout'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install negascout
For usage please see the yard docs.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
