That's where I started :) I'm working on an engine, not finished yet. It's in Perl, because that's what tweaks my curiosity and allows me freedom to invent, but once I have a thorough understanding and am happy with the way it is working, I will port it to C for the speed - or more likely just turn the critical functions into C using the Inline::C module for perl. I have high school education in programming, some university education in programming, and I do my fair share of development as a function of my job (in addition to having to manage developers). However, everything I know I learned from my Commodore 64. Everything else has just been a small appendage to that massive foundation. I get the same feel from the chess engine community here on CCC as I did back in the days of the 64 and BBSs - people just doing what they love and enjoy, and learning what to do simultaneous with doing it, all while helping each other and freely sharing information. Only difference is in the number of helpful people that have already "been there done that." Jason W.
