PTN to TPS

Portable Tak Notation to Tak Positional System

JS Usage:

const tps = PTNtoTPS({ plies, [tps or size], [...options] });

Required options are plies and either tps or size.

Examples:

PTNtoTPS({ tps: "x5/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 2 1", plies: ["a5", "b5", "c5"] });
// Returns "1,1,2,x2/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 1 3"

PTNtoTPS({ size: 6, plies: ["a6", "b6", "c6"], opening: "no-swap" });
// Returns "1,2,1,x3/x6/x6/x6/x6/x6 2 2"

CLI Usage:

PTNtoTPS <TPS|board size> [OPTION=VALUE ...] <ply1> [<ply2> ...]

Examples:

$ PTNtoTPS "x5/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 2 1" a5 b5 c5
> 1,1,2,x2/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 1 3

$ PTNtoTPS 6 opening=no-swap a6 b6 c6
> 1,2,1,x3/x6/x6/x6/x6/x6 2 2

Options:

opening        [swap|no-swap] Opening variations
caps           Override number of cap stones for both players
flats          Override number of flat stones for both players
caps1          Override number of cap stones for Player 1
flats1         Override number of flat stones for Player 1
caps2          Override number of cap stones for Player 2
flats2         Override number of flat stones for Player 2

TPS to PNG

Tak Positional System to Portable Network Graphics

JS Usage:

const canvas = TPStoPNG(args, (streamTo = null));

The args argument is a map of options, of which size or tps are required.

If streamTo is defined, the image will be piped to the specified write stream. Otherwise, in a node environment, it will be output to ./takboard.png. The canvas is returned either way.

The canvas returned has the following additional proprties:

• ctx: Canvas context
• isGameEnd: Boolean denoting whether the game is in a finished state
• linenum: Integer denoting current move number
• player: Integer (1 or 2) denoting current player
• tps: TPS string of current board state
• id: String denoting either the game result (if isGameEnd) or current TPS

### CLI Usage:

```bash
TPStoPNG <TPS|board size> [OPTION=VALUE ...]

Examples:

Example 1:

TPStoPNG({
  tps: "1,1,12,x2/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 1 4",
  komi: 1,
  imageSize: "sm",
  name: "example1",
});

OR

$ TPStoPNG "1,1,12,x2/x5/x5/x5/2,x4 1 4" komi=1 imageSize=sm name=example1

Output: example1.png

Example 2:

TPStoPNG({
  size: 6,
  opening: "no-swap",
  ply: "a6",
  imageSize: "sm",
  theme: "zen",
  bgAlpha: 0,
  name: "example2",
});
