Chess bot

To play click here

I made this project for fun wondering if i could make a chess bot from scratch not knowing a damn thing about how chess bots work.

To view the code and see how it works the assets/php/functions.php file is the place to be. Almost all chess bot code is written & divided in functions.

What i used

This is a self made chess bot from scratch. I did not use any chess libraries or follow tutorials to make this.
The languages i used are:

• PHP (for backend & move processing)
• Jquery (for live updating)
• HTML & CSS (for building the website itself)

I used my own php website template to take care of the basics of the websites

For the icons i used FontAwsome

Short history

I stared with a simple (and very slow) vanilla javascript bot in a basic html page. With every new version it got better and faster until it grew to this current version.

This latest version is the first to process the moves on the backend and live update the changes.

All the previous verison use pure vanilla js only. To view the code you can use the dev tools.

You can view the previous versions here (dutch only sorry)
