Go up one level in this thread


Robert.

Everyone had their chess program written in C/C++.

I'd say use something else.  C/C++ is really a high-level assembler.  It
sacrifices a lot of programmer time to make your code run faster.  But even
running twice as fast won't make your prgoram a LOT stronger.  But it will make
your programming take a LOT longer.

If 1600 if your goal, you can do it in java, and a lot of your work will be a
lot easier.  Java is plenty fast for a 1600 program on modern hardware.

Also:

smalltalk
lisp
SML

Are all things to look at!
