    Question Chess in C

    Has anyone come close to making a good chess program in C?

    Me and My friend did one in Turbo C++ (Which is God Awful close to C) but without classes I don't if it can be done.

    Just a question and hell you don't even half to give me a sentence just a 'Yes' or 'No'

    or even a 'y' or 'n'
    I need MONEY more than help with My C++ so yeah you get the idea

    C notes preferably LOL

    Yes. Go visit Google and add a few keywords such as "c programming chess".

    Quzah.
    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    I think both Gnuchess and Crafty are written in C. Maybe C++. Not sure. Check my signature below for a link to some chess interfaces (under the downloads section at www.freechess.org).

    PuhFENDanT, yes been playing mostly blitz lately. I'll give you a challenge on uschesslive.org sometime. Have you ever played over-the-board tournaments? I used to when I was a member of USCF.

    yeah I play at 1600 level but our chess coach makes us sandbag a lot.

    Like we have to go u1000 and u1300 for nearly three years

    I've been to nationals twice and our team (Pocono Mountain) has come in first at the PSCC for the past 4 years.

    Err.... PMs are for private messages, this is a C forum
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Yes, there are MANY chess programs available, and MANY of them are open source to be downloaded.

    I'm currently working on one at the moment in fact.

    There's a list of them here
