gungi.js is a JavaScript library which contains all the necessary logic for the strategy game from the HUNTER×HUNTER manga and it implements the rules established by reddit users u/Zaneme and u/squal777.
The library is used for move generation / validation, piece placement / movement, and check / checkmate / stalemate detection - basically everything but the AI.
To install the latest stable version of gungi.js
# NPM
npm install gungi.js
# Yarn
yarn add gungi.js
The code below plays a random game of gungi:
const { Gungi } = require('gungi.js');
const gungi = new Gungi()
while (!gungi.game_over()) {
const moves = gungi.moves()
const move = moves[Math.floor(Math.random() * moves.length)]
gungi.move(move)
}
console.log(gungi.ascii())
// colors
const BLACK = 'b';
const WHITE = 'w';
// move types
const ATTACK = 'attack';
const MOVEMENT = 'move';
const STACK = 'stack';
const PLACE = 'place';
const READY = 'ready';
// piece types

const CANNON = '砲';
const SPY = '忍';
const PAWN = '兵';

Returns a string containing an ASCII diagram of the current position.
Note about notation: Position on the 3D board is defined by rank (row), file (column), and tier (height). Standard Japanese number characters are used for the tier of white pieces and formal number characters are used for the tier of black pieces.

const gungi = new Gungi()
