Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for helping me out.  My goal is to create a Winboard compatable engine
only, no GUI at the moment, but probably later.  I can always use Shredder for
the GUI.  This way I can focus more on the internals.  Thanks for the code
samples, it will help me to get a better idea of how I can handle input. Polling
I understand from the dos days of programming, but threads are now available and
I like what they have to offer.  Looks like my next step will be designing a
thread strategy.  This is looking fun!  I have to review the various
input/output commands to see which I prefer.  I am using VC6/Windows, but I do
have Mandrake and may want a portable solution, so I may have to choose my
commands carefully.  I just wish there were more shared commands between the
various standards.  One big standard would be nice.  At least the choice to use
Winboard was easy.  I looked at UCI, but I prefer WB's methods.  -Matt
