Explosions on a chessboard

JavaScript (ES6) 305 310 321

As a function with 2 real parameters (and a lot more with default values, used as a quick and dirty way to define locals)

A full program which takes the FEN first, and the move second.

Explanation

First Line: Explode. Function

e←' '@(p/⍨~(x←∊∘'Pp')(b←↑⊃¨,/¨{⍵∊⎕D:' '/⍨⍎⍵⋄⍵}¨¨'/'(≠⊆⊢)⎕)[p←p/⍨{∧/⍵∊⍳8}¨p←(⊃⌽c←{(9-⍎⊃⌽⍵),⎕A⍳⊃⍵}¨↓2 2⍴1⎕C⎕)∘+¨,∘.,⍨2-⍳3])

1⎕C⎕ capitalize the first input

↓2 2⍴ cut into halves

{(9-⍎⊃⌽⍵),⎕A⍳⊃⍵}¨ apply the following to each square name: ,⎕A⍳⊃⍵ get position of first char in the alphabet(column) (9-⍎⊃⌽⍵) get 9-int(second char) (row number)

c← store that in c

⊃⌽ take the last element

∘+¨ and add that to:

,∘.,⍨2-⍳3 the cartesian product of (-1,0,1), getting the von neumann neighborhood

p← assign the explosion indices to p

p←p/⍨{∧/⍵∊⍳8}¨ remove the ones outside the board, and reassign to p

(...)[...] and index into the following:

'/'(≠⊆⊢)⎕ split the second input on slashes

⊃¨,/¨{⍵∊⎕D:' '/⍨⍎⍵⋄⍵}¨¨ convert each digit to the appropriate amount of spaces

b←↑ and convert it to a matrix, storing in b. This is the chess board.

x←∊∘'Pp' store function to check for pawns in x

p/⍨~(x←∊∘'Pp') now, remove the points which map to pawns

' '@ and insert a space at those indices in the right argument.

Second line: capture calculator

1↓⊃,/{'/',⊃,/{' '∊⍵:⍕≢⍵⋄⍵}¨⍵⊂⍨1,2≠/⍵}¨↓{(x⊃n)∧(≠/⊃¨⌽¨c)∧' '=⊃⌽n←b[c]:e' '@((⊃c)+0,1↓⊃-⍨/c)⊢b⋄' '∊n:(⌽n)@c⊢b⋄e' '@c⊢b}0

n←b[c] assign the starting and ending characters to n

' '=⊃⌽n←b[c] If ending square is empty,

(≠/⊃¨⌽¨c)∧ start column and end column are not equal,

(x⊃n)∧ and capturing piece is a pawn(en passant):

0,1↓⊃-⍨/c get the direction of capture

(⊃c)+ add that to the start index

' '@((⊃c)+0,1↓⊃-⍨/c)⊢b insert a space at that point

e and explode.

' '∊n else, if ending point is a space(no capture):

(⌽n)@c⊢b⋄ switch the places of the space and the piece

' '@c⊢b Otherwise, insert a space at the start and end index(normal capture)

e and explode.

¨↓ then, take each row,

⍵⊂⍨1,2≠/⍵ group it into equal runs

{' '∊⍵:⍕≢⍵⋄⍵}¨ replace runs of spaces with their length.

'/',⊃,/ join everything together and prepend a /

1↓⊃,/ join the rows together and drop the first /.

I'm not sure if this solution is optimal, but I'm working on golfing it more, any suggestions are welcome. I can comment all the code too if anyone would like, but I think it's mostly self explanatory, except for the confusing variable enumeration.

Explanation

  • Unpack the board string into a char matrix
  • Calculate the effect of the move
  • Repack the board into a string
