In order to improve the AI and keep it quit quick, the following modification has been done:

  • Compiled with option -03 (it actually did the trick)
  • Set the alphabeta deeps to 6


Roadmaps

  • (okey) Queen and King mask the piece above due to their size (lower position / image size / set transparency ? )
  • (gived up) Update the Cursor in a thread, so it can be moved while the engine find a move
  • (wip) Menus to select engine, set options...
  • (wip) Porting TSCP
  • (eventuality) porting gnu chess if pthread is ported in the future
