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.
- 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
- Language: C++ 17
- Build System: CMake 3.28+
- Documentation: Doxygen
- Platform Support: Windows and Linux
