Hey Bob


Didn't Wirths original Pascal compiler (written in Pascal) have pointers and variant records
My copy of it does.
My ISO pascal standard, User Manual and Report (Jensen and Wirth)
defines them.

Hey Bob,
Did I read a few posts ago that Pascal programmers (and Java) don't have to worry about pointers ?????
Of course you must know Pascal uses pointers, and that type casting can be done.
e.g

TYPE
CastingType = RECORD
CASE BOOLEAN OF
False : (Int : Integer);
True : (Ptr : ^Integer);
END ...

WOW Lucasart, I was thinking about using C instead of Pascal so you might be able to help me with this bit of code:
Im still a bit confused with your assertion that C is "the bees knees" but I guess this code segment demonstrates that clearly.

Well guys, the answer is staring you right in the face.
Switch to PASCAL. Then you can program in a simple, logical, transparent, self documenting, easy to understand,
pleasure to use language. Then you would not need to ask questions about how it works.

Or generate the moves at the root of the position and then call search to give a value to each of these moves. Then you know the move that gives the best score.

Hi,
You can download my pascal program and see how I do it from ltchess.weebly.com
This is based on the classic triangular array that David Levy describes in "How computers play chess"

Did I forget to put the link. Doh !!!
ltchess.weebly.com

Did I forget the say it was written in Pascal and the source code is included.
