Hi,
lets assume I have a C (MSVC) chess program. I want to write a GUI in Delphi
(cause thats the only sensible IDE I know to write a GUI in).
For development reasons, I want a "strong" link between the engine and the GUI.
What do I mean by strong link ?
I would like to be able to just add 1 line of code in the engine to display
information in the GUI in a sophisticated way. Like
"gui_showOnBoard(squareA, BLACK_CIRCLE)"
Unlike in a win/x-board style ("weak link") protocol, I dont want to pass any
text between the 2 programs.
What is the best way to accomplish that ? I know next to nothing about DLLs and
libraries, is that what one would use here ?
Any good starting point to read up on it ?
Georg
