I'm building a chess engine in Go: a language that I am a noob at

What I got working today:

→ A board that prints correctly to the terminal

→ All 32 pieces in their starting positions

→ Full TDD : Test Driven Development - every feature has a failing test before any code is written.

Making solid progress on the chess engine. Board representation is in place: A 64-size array representing all squares on the board Constants for piece types and colours One small Go detail I really like: iota starts at 0, which naturally assigns None = 0. Follow on X: https://x.com/progFilthi

I' m building a chess engine in public from scratch using a language I completely have no idea on: GO programming language. I think this will keep me accountable and its probably a great way to learn to code. Ideas and thoughts are welcome. Follow to see the build progress. #chess_engine #go
