As far as I know everybody uses something similar:

a) scan the entire board finding pieces
b) once you find a pice, generate moves for it and add them to the move list.
c) take care of extras (castling, ep, etc)

I don't know if I would call this an algorigthm, since everybody does it so
differently, but this is basically how moves are generated.
