chinesechess

This program implements game Xiangqi, with the minimax algorithm. Good for use with 2 players, 1 player and 1 AI, or two AIs.

The game uses VI key bindings that should be familiar to most programmers, i.e. hjkl to move left, down, up right, u and ctrl-R to undo and redo, m to move, y to confirm and n to cancel.

Instructions are also given in the game.

The game has a command system that's similar to VI's. You can use the system to enable/disable AI and to control the game play. Type :help to see list of commands.

Note that the game hides the terminal cursor. Please use ctrl-D or :quit to quit the game instead of ctrl-C.
