Functions for interacting with UCI chess engines.

follow-process-output clj

Parse an output line from a UCI chess engine.

run-engine clj

Starts the UCI chess engine at the given path name, and returns an engine object (a map) that can be used as argument to the send-command and think functions.

send-command clj

(send-command engine command)

Sends a UCI command (as a string) to a chess engine.

think clj

(think engine go-command bestmove-action & [info-action])

Sends the engine the supplied UCI 'go' command, and starts a new thread to monitor the search output. When the search is completed, the supplied function 'bestmove-action' is called with the engine output (a string of the form 'bestmove xxxx ponder yyyy') as the input parameter, and the monitoring thread exits. The optional 'info-action' parameter is a function which is called on all 'info' output lines that occur during the search.
