1. Chess programming
Hi to all,
I would very much appreciate some help from any of you, regarding a proje=
ct
I put up together with David Mosley, another Euphoria programmer. The
project has begun as a program to read and process chess games in the
so-called .PGN format. Some routines are already written by us, and also =
a
graphical interface, using Jiri Babor's fonts and gadgets. (They're reall=
y
great, Jiri).
But my ambition goes further! Actually, my purpose is to build an Euphori=
a
Application that really can play chess! Is this possible, you are asking,=
and I say 'I think it is'. Recently I found a Basic chess program called
QChess or QuikChess.
Of course, it is not going to beat Gary Kasparov, although, if we took hi=
m
of guard?
Seriously, folks, it needs a lot of improving, but that's were I would li=
ke
to call in your help, especially in translating the Basic to Euphoria. If=
anybody is interested, mail me privately, and I'll send you more details,=
including the Qchess program.
Sincerely,

2. Chess programming
I've never really understood AI programming, which is what I imagine you
are going to use for a chess game, especially the one you described. =
That's probably because i never really had anyone to teach me; anything I=
may have done in computer programming I have taught myself anyways. I
probably won't be too good for developing code, but I would love to help
you translate BASIC into Euphoria. Sounds like a fun project to me. Aft=
er
all, BASIC is the only other language I know besides Euphoria. Just mail=
me that QChess game, and I'll have a look. Thanx.
Regards,
Bryan Watts
