C Language: Using lichess Puzzles
To use lichess puzzles in C, you can make use of the lichess API to fetch puzzle data and integrate it into your C program. Here's a basic example of how you might do this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
size_t write_callback(void ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void stream) {
fwrite(ptr, size, nmemb, (FILE *)stream);
return size * nmemb;
}
int main() {
CURL *curl;
FILE *fp;
char url[] = "https://lichess.org/api/puzzle";
char outfilename[] = "puzzle.json";
curl = curl_easy_init();
if (curl) {
fp = fopen(outfilename, "wb");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, fp);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
fclose(fp);
}
return 0;
}
In this example, we use libcurl to make a GET request to the lichess puzzle API and write the response to a file named "puzzle.json". You can then parse this JSON file to extract the puzzle data and use it in your program.
I hope this helps!
