Title: Chess
Post by: bplus on February 16, 2018, 05:23:22 pm: Hi v,

I tried out your chess program. Looks great! both piece design and board colors, maybe even Tempodbasic (hello :D ) would like the colors! I like the size too.

What is the difference in the pieces labeled 80 and 320?

I think you could use _LIMIT too because the raggity fan in my new computer kicked on shortly after I started the run.

PS I forgot to mention important feature, it is drag and drop!

I can see shelling commands out to the Chess Engine, less sure how to get commands from engine to GUI program.

I recall from 90's that batch files could take output from a program and store it in a file. Use to get directory listings that way.

Post by: _vince on August 26, 2018, 04:46:07 pm: The chess discussion took place in the chatroom and i uploaded my chess UI on binbin. I never responded to that thread since we were talking in chat. Bplus uploaded the zip in that thread but later removed it for some reason, not on my request. I attached the original upload.

This is the drag and drop interface but has no rule enforcement. I have another one with rule enforcement but it's incomplete, i can post that if requested.

Thanks for helping clear this up!

Hi V

I can see a very classical cool interface/GUI of chess program.
Good !

IMHO if your goal is to use a chess engine like Stockfish/Crafty/Rebel/Fritz it is foundamental to build a library for UCI protocol.
Arena http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/a206_1280.png (http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/a206_1280.png)and Babaschess http://www.babaschess.net/screenshots.asp (http://www.babaschess.net/screenshots.asp)are two programs with interface for chess engine.

For UCI protocol you can read here
