A simple 2 player chess AI that implemented minimax & alpha-beta pruning & move-ordering & pawn structure analysis to fully optimise the AI It's cross-platform as well, unfortunately it cannot run on web as it is a multithreaded program

NOTE: Can't create ipa for ios since I am not using macOS...

Apparently a minimum of Android API Level of 24 or Android 7.0 Nougat is required to use Stream API However, it appears that there is also a library that desugar Stream API syntax thus a lower android version can be used

To generate executable, open the terminal and do the following

  1. Desktop: ./gradlew desktop:dist. The generated JAR file will be located in the desktop/build/libs/ folder
  2. Android: ./gradlew android:assembleRelease. This will create an unsigned APK file in the android/build/outputs/apk folder
  3. iOS: ./gradlew ios:createIPA. This will create an IPA in the ios/build/robovm folder
