Help me find a perfect hash function and fill a hash table in compile time
If you'd like to reference something, my movegen crate cozy-chess does this. I also have a standalone reference implementation here as part of my magic bitboard article.

Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?
https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot is a straight forward way to use any UCI engine with lichess. There are also a few libraries for move generation mine: https://github.com/Disservin/chess-library , libchess: https://github.com/kz04px/libchess , surge: https://github.com/nkarve/surge . These are C++ ones, for rust theres https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess . In python you could use python-chess but its incredibly slow for engine stuff writing your own will probably be faster if you know what you are doing.

cozy-chess: A Chess and Chess960 move generation library
A while back, I got into computer chess. I used Jordan Bray's neat chess crate for move generation, and was pretty satisfied until I took a look at the code. It's pretty good and all, but... So. Much. unsafe. Out of a mix of frustration and curiosity, I made it my next project to create my own chess move generation library. So... here it is, I guess: https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess/ It's my first crate, so feedback would be appreciated! It's currently being used in my (weak) chess engine Tantabus.

I have created a chess engine in python. How do I modify it for UCI protocol?
I would recommend downloading this bot, written in Python: https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot
Once you have these basic UCI commands implemented, you can use this application to run your engine as BOT on lichess.

I made a 1660 lichess bot
The bot uses the Shail Choksi's lichess-bot package (link) and stockfish. It's currently running on pythoneverywhere.com. I am very much a hobbyist and this is the first time I've done anything "useful" with coding. If you encounter any bugs, DM me and I'll do my best to fix them.

Is there a chess platform that explicitly allows computer play?
You can make a lichess bot with your engine (https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot or similar API). The instructions are all fairly straightforward, but if you need any help feel free to reach out!

How do people go about testing chess engines against each other?
If you just want to make your engine play some games, with a uci interface you can quickly setup a bot account on lichess and challenge any available bot. https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot
