My plan is to compile my simple script, working version is 800 bytes, into an executable for linux and another for windows. When it's working, I'll try to revamp the analysis process to, for example, search deeper when blunders are spotted, or perhaps run a second search using another engine. Perhaps the gui's offer analysis but I'd guess their 'blunder checking' is as primitive as my 800 character bash script.
Indirect perks - I'll learn to compile and code in C++, and have fun for a few weeks.
Am figuring out how to compile. my OS is linux. am totally new to compiling and c/c++.
