An Oware Abapa artificial intelligence game engine.
Aalina (a.k.a. Aualé) is a strong Oware playing artificial intelligence engine. It communicates with a Graphical User Interface through an adapted version of the Universal Chess Interface protocol. This mancala engine is thus usually invoked by a GUI, such as Aualé, which is the official interface for this engine, but can also be played on the terminal.
