Greetings,
I have the pleasure of announcing CHANT : A tool to view game trees generated by
any chess program. Includes a C library that you can use inside your favourite
chess program to dump the tree to a .chant file for viewing.
Here is a list of features :
- Multiple game trees can be viewed at the same time, thus the user can compare
for example the tree generated at ply 10 with the tree generated at ply 11
- Small memory footprint : the viewer uses under 10 MB of memory when viewing a
tree (1-2 MB are added for each new game tree window opened) and a constant
amount of memory (around 64 MB) when generating index files (and that only
occurs first time a tree file is opened)
- Modular architecture : the user can write plugins that are used by the viewer
to customize the output
- Variable size for a tree node : the tree files can contain a variable sized
(<=128 bytes) amount of user data
- Unlimited number of nodes in the search trees (limited only by the size of
free disk space)
- High Speed : the viewer uses index files to speed up access to the trees
- Chessboard inside the viewer to show current node position
- Source code included for the library to write the chess tree file and for
writing plugins
-Easy game tree navigation
Details, forum, screenshots, downloads etc : on the CHANT homepage :
