Hey guys I almost have my Black Jack game done. And I was just thinking of my next project. From a beginers point of view do you think checkers would be too hard or should I try something esle maybe another card game only more complicated. I just wanted an experienced programmers opinion or anyones opinion for that matter. You guys seem to have it together and care about the new people to Euphoria and programming thanks for all your help. Later. roachd_76 at yahoo.com

Later. > >roachd_76 at yahoo.com Surprise, surprise, checkers is actually more computationally intensive than chess. Unless you are willing to write highly optimized assembler or C routines for the move calculation...this would only be a rough demo. Euphoria is appropriate for many things, but this doesn't happen to be one of them. That is no knock on Euphoria...all those highly optimized routines written for super-computers still can't beat top checker players. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com
