Inheritance Chess

Overview

Inheritance Chess is an enterprise-grade C++ chess engine that demonstrates object-oriented design principles and polymorphic architecture. Built with production-quality standards, this implementation leverages modern C++ practices to deliver a robust, maintainable, and extensible chess engine.

Key Features

• OOP Architecture: Implements sophisticated inheritance hierarchies and polymorphism to model chess pieces and game mechanics
• Smart Pointer Memory Management: Uses modern C++ smart pointers (std::unique_ptr) for automatic, exception-safe memory management
• Type-Safe Design: Type-safe operations and memory management with RAII principles
• Extensible Framework: Modular architecture enables seamless addition of new piece types and game rules
• Standards Compliance: Fully adheres to industry best practices and coding standards with integrated clang-format configuration
• Comprehensive Documentation: Complete Doxygen-generated API documentation with code examples

Technical Specifications

• Language: C++ 17
• Build System: CMake 3.28+
• Documentation: Doxygen
• Platform Support: Windows and Linux
• License: Apache License 2.0
