qchess is a python2.7 implementation of Quantum Chess

+ +

tl;dr

+ + + + + + + + + + +

	Binary	Script (requires python2.7 and pygame1.9)
Windows	32 bit	qchess.py
Linux	64 bit	qchess.py

+ +

Warning: Some things in the windows version will not work.

Warning: The actual competition will be run on linux. If your program doesn't work on linux, you may not be able to enter.

+ + +

Git

The best way to do things is to use git and clone the repository at git://git.ucc.asn.au/progcomp2013.git. Run "git pull" everytime a major change is announced.

+ + +

Files and Directories

+ +

qchess/qchess.py - Python script version of qchess
agents/ - Where all the agents will go when the competition runs +
agents/sample.py - A sample agent in python
qchess/build/ - Compiled binaries of the qchess program
qchess/src/ - Source python files for qchess
web/ - This website

+ +

qchess.py

+ +

You will need python 2.7.3

On Debian/Ubuntu just run `sudo apt-get install python`
On Windows, download and install the x86 (32bit) MSI, not the x86-64 (64bit) MSI)

You will need pygame 1.9.1

On Debian/Ubuntu just run `sudo apt-get install python-pygame`
On Windows, ,ake sure you get the pygame for python 2.7 MSI

Hopefully, if you have those, things will just work (TM)

In linux, navigate to the qchess directory, then run with ./qchess.py
In windows, the application should start when you double click on it
If you want to give command line arguments, you will need to use cmd on windows

+ +

Compiled Binaries

+ +

Warning: I am no longer testing the binaries. I believe the linux binary works, but the Windows binary might not.

If they work for you, that is awesome, but I recommend installing python and using the python script.

You'll probably want to enter in python, since the python script gives you a lot of useful functions.

+ +

On the other hand... , if you have problems with an incompatable version of python, try the binaries!

Quantum Chess

+ +

Competition: Write an AI to play Quantum Chess. You can enter in any language that supports reading/writing from standard input/output.

+ +

Quantum chess is a variant of chess in which the type of a piece changes during play.

The game was invented by Selim Akl, and first implemented by Alice Wismath. + You can see their original website here.

+ + +

+ +

Rules

+ +

The rules are basically the same as the original rules.

+ +

Differences / Clarifications

The bottom right and top left squares are white (as in traditional chess), not black.
Castling and en passen are not allowed (I'm not sure whether they are in the original version).
If a piece in a pawn state ends its move in the opposing back row, that state is always replaced with a queen state.
