Recently I didn’t post because I’ve got several training from company I work with. I have felt that I become busy man although I don’t. Still I want to continue express my electronic and programming experience in this blog. Still I’ll do research and simulate all I know.
Recently I have not updated my chess engine at all. It is still not finished yet. Still 0 %. But I will continue to do programming again. Then finally upload my first game.
Fun-digital.blogspot.com is not over.
At this moment I prepare for making chess robot which implement machine vision, robot arm, and chess engine. One of my parts is making chess engine. I can make the pc board myself. But still until now I haven’t finished chess engine. I have three task, they are pc board, chess engine, board recognition, and chess symbol recognition.
Back to chess engine, I make chess engine with C++. Based on C application on tree, I want to make it can analyze the best move based on n-steps prediction. I found that best moved is based on sum of score of every single move.
Chess engine I make is black or white. Extra point I make is easy to plug with another board that other people make. Chess board and chess engine I talk is not like in other web. I still beginner and some engine take years to beat its programmer. Hmmm.
In other to make great chess engine is mastering tree. I start learning tree 2 weeks ago even though I have ever made it some years ago. Then I realize the problem is not about tree but processing and memory. Controlling both of them is very difficult. My chess engine is about 0.5%.
So when will I finish my chess robot?
Mastering does not just know the basic but master every single thing that Visual C++ could. So I was looking for source code that can be downloaded for free. So I opened Planet Source Code.
I downloaded a lot source codes. Every code about chess and image and also visual c++ written were downloaded by me. But as guest I could download 5 only.
How do I download source code or anything from low security website? Then I used page FRAME so I can download them all. Hehehe. Thank you Planet Source Code.
Ebooks that I am using now are different from before. Here is the list
1> Programming Windows with MFC 2nd ed by Jeff Prosise
2> Developing Professional Applications in Windows 98 and NT Using MFC by Marshall Brain and Lance Lovette
3> MFC Black Book by Al Williams
4> Learn the MFC C++ Classes by Shirley Wodtke
Now I announce my self that I am now Intermediate Visual C++ Programmer although I haven’t finished my Chess Game Programming Project with Visual C++ 6. Ask to me if you have some question. I would likely to help anyone.
It’s very surprising that Visual C++ 6 is very difficult. My latest promoter said, “You better use Visual C++ 2005 or above than Visual C++ 6”.
My programming language background is C. I could handle TURBO C Compiler, Code Vision, Micro C, and CCS C Compiler. I used TURBO C at my first semester. Code Vision, Micro C, and CCS C are C Compiler for microcontroller.
Then I know my weakness. I weak at object oriented programming. I thought I can program “object oriented” Visual C++ 6 as easy as Visual Basic. Then I read these several ebooks that I downloaded from gigapedia and flazx even though they are not very useful.
1. mastering visual c++ 6
2. Fast Track Visual C++ 6 Programming
3. Visual C++ 6 The Complete Reference
4. SAMS Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21Days
5. Visual C++ 6 For Dummies
The last three ebooks are the best one for me because I am newbie, maybe. Thank you for all free ebooks. But are they really free or not?
Please suggest me the best Visual C++ 6 book!
This is my second project that I post in this blog. This is not my own project. I just assist Mr. X to finish his bachelor thesis. Then the title is…. Still don’t know the title. Theme is hand machine, machine vision, and chess game engine.
I just do chess game engine. The engine I make is not engine made by me, but MIGOYA chess engine. Then several problems occur.
1. Mr. X is using Visual C++ 2008 for his final project but my computer couldn’t handle it. So I use
2. Visual C++ 6 even though I am newbie at Visual C++.
MIGOYA chess engine is build with Visual Basic.
Thanks for MIGOYA. I now can work to finish my task, Chess Game Engine.
