Elysian Shadows

last night I found out the problem, I had the graphics and the calculations of the bit boards in the game loop updating as much as possible, I did a test I ran the program for roughly 10 seconds at a frame rate of 13 seconds, the program looped through 131 times, 13 times a second, as expected, 1260...

I'm still debating with myself whether or not to write an article, I started one that basically describes how my chess game works, but the program is not that complicated so I don't know how many people would learn anything from it.

I finally finished removing all the unnecessary bit boards, my program now uses 11.5 MiBs of memory, I believe before it was around 13. Since I don't use a number higher than 1000 I changed all my ints to shorts, there wasn't that many so there was hardly a difference but that should give me some mo...

I think the bit boards is taking up more space than is needed, since I have them in a class I decided to make them private, and have another bit board outside the class that represents the data. Right now I have 117 bit boards all with a size of 144, so that would take up 16848 bytes. If I make the ...

well I have the frame rate limiter working in my chess program, but I am still having problems with how much cpu usage it uses, I made a video to show off the board editor I added, it doesn't show off loading and saving because I forgot to include it, but the program can do it. In the video I also s...

thanks for the link Ginto8, I've been messing around with lazy foo's timer class, and made this program this afternoon, I don't know if its worthy of entering moosaders competition, but it is pretty retarded. here is the link for windows users http://www.box.net/shared/24s8kisqj2 . if anyone is inte...

wow, I never even thought about limiting the frame rate. I'll get working on that, and I'll update you when I have it implemented, it wont be until tomorrow I think.

I have no idea what is wrong with this but when I click the link it goes to http://thechaosrift.com/project . When I google elysian shadows, then go into the forum it link goes to http://elysianshadows.com/project/ . I think the problem is my bookmark is http://thechaosrift.com/ , when I google chao...

The dad cares more about the fridge than the kid.

when I run my chess program I notice that atleast 1 of my cpu's is at 100%, I ran the program with valgrind, the summary is as follows: The heap summary is way too long to post but if you are interested in it here is a link http://www.box.net/shared/sn0c2vsmp0 leak summary and error summary: ==3154=...

does the elysian shadows project link at the top right of the page work for anybody, or is it just my browser.

I'm think I might be changing all the graphics pretty soon, I didn't really know what to do for checkmate so I just whipped that together. I was playing around with the program this morning and found out that I totally forgot that pinned pieces can't stop checkmate, so the program doesn't recognize ...

I finally have checkmate and stalemate working, I'm going to fix two bugs, and then the program should be ready to be uploaded. I'm not sure what I want to work on next, AI or a position editor. I'm thinking AI because I think it will be more fun, and I know nothing about map/position editors. edit:...

I think you misread the post, they are looking for ways to put it on hand held devices. The only one that he actually says it runs on is psp.

what time controls are you thinking of, and tournament style (round robin, swiss, elimination)?
