BattleField is a tool to run many micro engine matches. It allows two engines to play many games either on fixed time per move or on fixed depth.
To build this utility, run
$ cd battlefield
$ lazbuild Battlefield.lpi
Alternatively, you can open and build the project battlefield/Battlefield.lpi in Lazarus IDE.
The resulting binary is located in battlefield/bin/battlefield. Run the binary without arguments
to get more information on how to use it.
This small tool generates the positions for self-tests. To compile and run it, use
$ cd selftest_data_create
$ lazbuild SelftestDataCreate.lpi
$ cd bin
$ ./selftest_data_create >boards.fen
The resulting boards.fen will be the same as boards.fen which is used for self-tests in
SoFCheck repository.
This is not a utility, but a set of positions on which the engine evaluation function is tested. These positions can be used with BattleField.
This is a set of utilities to work with SoFGameSet format. These utilities are written in Python.
