parser

Parser can simply parse chess games stored in PGN format.

val inputGame = "1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6 4. Qxf7# 1-0"
PgnParser.pgnGame.parseAll(inputGame)
res1: Either[cats.parse.Parser.Error, io.github.ghostbuster91.pgnparser.parser.PgnGame] =
Right(
  PgnGame(
    List(),
    List(
      Round(
        1,
        PawnMove(Position('e', '4'), NoCheck, None),
        Some(PawnMove(Position('e', '5'), NoCheck, None))
      ),
      Round(
        2,
        FigureMove(Bishop, Position('c', '4'), NoCheck, None, None, false),
        Some(FigureMove(Bishop, Position('c', '5'), NoCheck, None, None, false))
      ),
      Round(
        3,
        FigureMove(Queen, Position('h', '5'), NoCheck, None, None, false),
        Some(FigureMove(Knight, Position('f', '6'), NoCheck, None, None, false))
      ),
      Round(4, FigureMove(Queen, Position('f', '7'), Checkmate, None, None, true), None)
    ),
    WhiteWins
  )
)

In case of malformed input an error will be returned:

val malformedGame = "1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6asdasd"
PgnParser.pgnGame.parseAll(malformedGame)
res6: Either[cats.parse.Parser.Error, io.github.ghostbuster91.pgnparser.parser.PgnGame] = Left(
  Error(
    20,
    NonEmptyList(Str(20, "0-1"), List(Str(20, "1-0"), Str(20, "1/2-1/2"), InRange(20, '*', '*')))
  )
)

reader

Reader is an abstraction build on top of parser. Apart from parsing the game, reader also converts it to unambiogious LAN format. It does that by partially implementing chess rules needed to filter out incorrect movements.

val inputGame = "1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6 4. Qxf7# 1-0"
new PgnReader().read(inputGame)
res2: Either[io.github.ghostbuster91.pgnparser.core.ParsingException, io.github.ghostbuster91.pgnparser.core.ChessGame] = Right(
  ChessGame(
    Board(
      HashMap(
        Coordinate(1, 0) -> PlayerPiece(Knight, White),
        Coordinate(4, 3) -> PlayerPiece(Pawn, White),
        Coordinate(4, 7) -> PlayerPiece(King, Black),
        Coordinate(3, 7) -> PlayerPiece(Queen, Black),
        Coordinate(7, 1) -> PlayerPiece(Pawn, White),
        Coordinate(4, 0) -> PlayerPiece(King, White),
        Coordinate(1, 1) -> PlayerPiece(Pawn, White),
        Coordinate(0, 1) -> PlayerPiece(Pawn, White),
        Coordinate(0, 0) -> PlayerPiece(Rook, White),
...

The whole output is actually to big to be included in the readme as reader outputs the game as a list of state transistions of a chess board. The structer of the result looks as follows:

case class ChessGame(
    board: Board,
    currentPlayer: Player,
    previousState: Option[(ChessGame, LanMove)]
)

Reader does not verify game's correctness. The game is assumed to be valid.
