tomitankChess 4.0

You should just create a .bat file, put it in your distribution zip and users use that to execute the engine. Done.

Unnecessary. node.js must be downloaded. as long as it is not available it will only confuse people.

The description is perfectly understandable.

By the way the engine is designed for browsers and for my mobil application. The perfect solution would be C language, but that doesn't motivate me.

You can just run node.exe through the GUI, (node.exe is part of the node.js download package), from the same folder as tomitankChess and then add tomitankchess-4.0.js as the command line parameter. This is what I did and it runs well.

That is what I do under ChessGUI.

Build Status

Introduction
CeruleanJS is an XBoard chess engine for NodeJS, written by Joey Robert.

The goals of CeruleanJS are threefold:

Correctness
Performance
Ease of programming
CeruleanJS aims to be ranked on the CCRL.

Requirements
Node >= 4.0
Setup
To install the binary into your $PATH, install the ceruleanjs package globally:

npm install -g ceruleanjs
Run the engine with the command:

ceruleanjs
If you’re installing from sources, check out this git repository and run:

npm install
To run:

npm start
To run mocha tests:

*****npm test
To generate a Windows binary executable using nexe, run:

npm run build-windows
This requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 to be installed. It will generate ceruleanjs.exe and book.bok in dist.********

To generate a web build, run:

npm run build-web
This will generate a babelify’d ES5 version of CeruleanJS that is compatible with most modern day web browsers that support Web Workers. This build is used in the CeruleanJS Player.

Interface
CeruleanJS supports the XBoard/winboard/CECP format for communicating with interfaces or other chess engines. It’s also usable directly through STDIN/OUT. Here’s the list of commands:
