Sample UI for fatpup chess library based on SDL2. It's currently a user - engine game using a simple 3-ply minimax chess engine. You always play white.

Get the code

fatpup chess engine is submodule'd, so you have to pull it separately:

git clone https://github.com/witaly-iwanow/fatpup-ui-sdl.git
cd fatpup-ui-sdl
git submodule update --init --recursive

Build (macOS)

Install v2 SDL, SDL_image and SDL_ttf with Homebrew:

brew install sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf

Throw it under CMake, make it and run:

mkdir _cmake && cd _cmake
cmake ..
make && ./fatpup-ui

or if you need an Xcode project:

cmake -GXcode ..
Open fatpup-ui.xcodeproj

Build (Linux)

Install v2 SDL, SDL_image and SDL_ttf with apt/yum:

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev

or

sudo yum install SDL2-devel SDL2_image-devel SDL2_ttf-devel

Throw it under CMake, make it and run:

mkdir _cmake && cd _cmake
cmake ..
make && ./fatpup-ui

Build (Windows)

Download the latest v2 SDL, SDL_image and SDL_ttf Development libraries (as of the time of writing SDL 2.0.10, SDL_image 2.0.5 and SDL_ttf 2.0.15) and unzip them somewhere nice and tidy, i.e. no spaces in the path, C:\sdl for example.

Throw it under CMake with paths to SDL, SDL_image and SDL_ttf set:

mkdir _cmake && cd _cmake
cmake -DSDL2_PATH=C:\sdl\SDL2-2.0.10 -DSDL2_IMAGE_PATH=C:\sdl\SDL2_image-2.0.5 -DSDL2_TTF_PATH=C:\sdl\SDL2_ttf-2.0.15 ..

Open fatpup-ui.sln with Visual Studio and set fatpup-ui as startup project. You're all set, feel free to hit Ctrl-F5 to see it running.
