Chess program

[badmrbox]

If it means that we get a good chess program coded in FB then take your time I say.

This is looking great, people.

Probably one of the best fb progs I have seen in a while. Rock on.

Hi, everybody. Thanks so much for your support!
Presently I'm just popping in and out of the forum and basically not coding... :( But I see the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and I'll be back to the project :)

[Dr_D]

So, is this project abandoned? :(

[Antoni]

Don't know but all links were to FileAnchor, so they are all dead...

[Dr_D]

Well, here's the link to the last thing I made. I was going through some stuff on file-pasta and found the source for what I made. I was just curious if the game is totally abandoned?

Hi.

I'm sorry but I haven't been coding on this project since my last post here above (last year).

Dr_D, I owe many excuses to you in particular, because you contributed great great code and supported me much.

My problem was:
* your code was too difficult for me; as you can see from my listing - if you still have a copy - I use very basic and straightforward coding structures (ie. no pointers, no classes, nothing advanced, just functions and a variable of type function)
* I was not able (and still I haven't learned) to use Open GL or any other graphic library (in fact I like FreeBasic as a progr. language because it has an internal GL, so you can put things on screen without having to learn anything else, i never got on with C for this reason). Of course you can do great things in 3d only by using GL's.

Both these reasons are beside the point, they have to do with me being lazy. My real technical problem at the time was that the flow of my program went back and forth from graphic functions beacuse it had to check if the move proposed by the player was valid or not. Basically I didn't know how to go back and forth from Open GL.

Plus of course the AI was dumb and buggy and needed a lot of care, but only after the graphic routines were ok.

At the end I got stuck in my problems and ceased coding altogether.

(Then I started again onto another thing - which is a i8080 simulator/cross assebler, like a playground for coding in 8 bit assembler, which I'm currently testing and will post in a some days).

Of course the code for both programs is property of the FreeBasic community and I will post it again if you are interested, or maybe put it in some web repository of routines for others to see (instead of file anchor) if you think it may be useful.

Just tell me what you prefer.

Congratulations. I did not try it out, but I saw the rating.

Fabrizio:
I would like to see your code.

[fabrizio]

Antoni

just seen your post. Don't have the code with me. Will come back to you in a few hours with the code (I will do another file anchor thing).
Thanx for interest in an ELO 115 code ... :)
Bye for now.

This is my code:

There is some problem with the data statement, now; but it works fine with 0.15b.
