Chess program

[Roland Chastain]

I'm still working on this project. While I'm trying to make the "engine" a little stronger, I work also on the "GUI". I realize that these are two very different tasks. I would like to separate both and, if I can, to use UCI protocol. But for the moment my FreeBASIC knowledge is too short. I would be very happy to hear your opinions and advises. Thanks !

It looks nice man. :) I haven't had a chance to try it out... I will shortly though. One thing... You may not get much response in this thread. It might help if you create a separate thread for your program. :)

[Roland Chastain]

If it looks nice, this is already something ! Thank you for your advise. I will make a separate thread tomorrow.

@Roland,

I don't read German, so it is difficult for me to find your program. Could you please give a direct link for those of us who are interested but can't follow this menu..

I've just understand what you exactly asked to me. Here it is :

Garvan,

I hope you were not too disappointed by my poor little program !

I'm working for the next release. I replaced keyboard by mouse, and remade the screen. I like the result. But my "engine" stays very weak. I would like to join an stronger engine to my GUI, but I have no idea of the way to do it.

You are the father of FBchess, isn't it ? I have downloaded the source code in order to study it. I hope I will find some help in it. If you have time to write, please give me some ideas ! I have a lot of chess engines, but I don't know how to run them from my program.

Thanks !

Have a look at OPEN PIPE

• You can start an external process by OPEN PIPE shell_command FOR INPUT AS #filenumber
• You can receive to output of the external process by LINE INPUT #filenumber, ln
• Don't forget to CLOSE #filenumber the PIPE.

Thank you very much ! This is what I needed. Now I know where I must search. When I manage to make it, I will say it to you.
