Go up one level in this thread


When I first wrote my program which was in Basic there was no source codes to
look at. Did it all from scratch, however, a move generator is a move generator
and unless they are using hash codes or mailboxes they should all look pretty
much the same. One of the main things in chess programs is the evaluate
function. These differ in almost every chess program written, so as long as
people just examine the coding on moving, alpha-beta, etc. it should not matter.
I only wish that I had had some ones elses code to look at when I first
attempted to write mine. Why should someone have to re-invent the wheel every
time they start a similiar project?
