Simple Checkers engine, that handles all the checkers game logic for you, so you don't have to care. The current implementation uses MCTS(Monte-Carlo Tree Search), in the future, this program might be extended to allow users provide their desired search heuristic algorithm

Available on npm and crates.io

  • More robust documentation
  • More tests
  • Fix releasing packages issue on github with (cross??)
  • Examples on how this works
  • Explain the architecture of this library
    • The board representation
    • MCTS approach?
