Android Question Code for interfacing with UCI chess engines

[Stolcius Von Stolcenberg]

Hi,
I'd like to implement an interface for communicating with uci chess engines(e.g. Stockfish for android).

I just need to know how to interact with these engines.

Thanks,
Stolcius

Hi & welcome to this forum. It's less about B4A, it's more about

- how does the Stockfish engine work?
- what are the api's?/libs they offer?
- build a wrapper for the libs

Most of the parts you have to do ony your own. There's (of course) no ready code for that.

Check their documentation and search the forum how to wrap libraries. For a beginner this isn't the easiest part to start.

Thanks for your quick answer, KMatle.

Hi, you must provide the FEN string to the Stockfish engine and the engine answer to you another FEN string to view the result

Hey, did you ever get this going?

I'm trying to do the same thing but with B4J under Windows.
