Chess 0.9 was in Byte magazine. > >bruce Maybe it was this. The printout i had in mind was in a book, featuring a loose collection of articles, related to programming games. The typeset was of very low quality. The autors appeared prominent, but i dont recall them. It was written in Pascal with a portion of assembler. I will never forget it, due to its strange type system: It defined new names for every type it used. Names consisted of 2 up to 3 letters. Apparently the first letter described a concept. The next letter described a subconcept of that and so on, like a catalog in a library. The first typename it defined was AA, the the next name AB and so on up to maybe AI. Then the game continued with BA, BB and so on. Furthermore it defined procedures and functions for almost _anything_ it did. Procedure accomplishing high level tasks, looked essentially all the same: A long file of procedure calls and assignements Since that i never saw anything comparable to that. So it is definitely interesting. If anyone would have heard of it, that would be fine. Oliver Roese
