I actually started the commodore 64 and GW-Basic, and taught myself all the BASIC languages up through VB 6. I was reluctant to learn C/C++, and now I'm kind of skipping to VB.Net to avoid C altogether :) I have picked up enough to be able to read and get the gist of C and C++ and will be using that to help me in this project though. >Have you written any chess program prior to embarking on the current >VB.NET engine project? No, this will be my first engine. I've dabbled in it before, but never really put forth the effort to really do it. As such, I know a bit of the terminology and such, but it's still pretty new. >Will your engine be heavily object-oriented? Yes, because my lack of experience is almost forcing me to look to OOP to provide guidelines for the structure. I'll probably wind up completely rebuilding it a few times, but for now it will be very OO. I should also note that I'm a computer science major, so this is a way for me to learn and practice what i'm getting in my classes too.
