Dumbo

Why Dumbo? Dumbo is a new game engine meant for the Dumbos among us. It is designed for first for simplicity, and second for performance. It should be easy to use and develop from, and also fun to play against.

About the author

I’ve been playing chess since I was in kindergarden or so, and for the last few years I’ve been meaning to try and build my own chess engine. This is the first step – a generic framework for building game engines and a toy implementation for tic tac toe.

Overview

This repository is entirely written in C++, and is structured around the cmake cross-compilation paradigm.

• glog (Google’s C++ logging tools)
• gflags (Google’s C++ command line flags)
• boost (general C++ toolchain)

Documentation

Documentation is auto-generated using Doxygen and may be found here.
