C++ Chess Implementation with SFML 3.0

Wanted to try the latest release of SMFL (https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/3.0.0/) with some newer features. Implemented a little Chess game that lets you play against AI (albeit a dumb one as of now) or against a Human.

Features

• Complete chess rule implementation including special moves (castling, en passant, promotion)
• Multiple game modes:
  • Human vs Human
  • Human vs AI (play as white or black)
• Game state loading with FEN notation

Requirements

• C++23 compatible compiler (GCC 14+, Clang 18+ ...)
• CMake

Building the project

git clone git@github.com:PierreBhs/chessfml.git
cd chessfml

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

./build/chessfml

Project Structure

• src/game/ - Core chess logic and game state management
• src/states/ - Game state handling (menu, gameplay, etc.)
• src/ui/ - Rendering and user interface components
• src/common/ - Utilities and common functionality
