I am looking for another solution.

I downloaded a compiler here and could compile Dumb 1.6.

Hi Roland,
If you have snapd installed on your Linux distro, you can install the D compiler with

Code: Select all

sudo snap install ldc2 --classic

Hi Morgan. Thank you for your answer. But, unfortunately, snapd doesn't seem to be available on my distro (Mageia). I am looking for another solution.

Have fun with it. Hello! For your information, I cannot use the Linux binary of Dumb 1.6. [roland@localhost 16]$ ./dumb-1.6 ./dumb-1.6: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./dumb-1.6) [roland@localhost 16]$ It seems that I have to compile the source. I search how I can ins...

Hello ! I released Alouette 0.1.4. https://github.com/rchastain/alouette/releases/tag/0.1.4 Faster move generation Piece square tables Random mover mode (parameter "-r" or "--random") There is now a Makefile in the repository. Of course you need to install the Free Pascal compiler. I compressed all ...

May I ask which gcc version you are compiling with? This looks like a manifestation of this bug , which erroneously caused class members to be inaccessible in noexcept declarations. As such I assume your version is <=8? Thank you for your answer. Indeed, it's gcc version 8. [roland@localhost paulch...

Hello! When I try to build the engine (on Linux 64), I get the following error message: [roland@localhost paulchen332 (main)]$ LC_ALL=C make g++ -Wfatal-errors -std=c++17 -Wall -pedantic -Werror -O3 -march=native -ggdb -flto -Iinclude -Idep/ptl/include -Idep/pcl/include -c src/default_search_control...

The engine works more or less but there are some issues that I am not able to fix for now, because there are many things in the program that I don't understand. For example, I didn't know until today what is a "null move".

I created a git repository: Open Critter

Contributions are welcome.

Hippocampe 0.4.2.0.2.

Fixed illegal pawn move. (Thank to Taimo Peelo for reporting the bug.)
Added setboard command.

By the way, I tested the program in Chess960 mode: it doesn't work. I am trying to find what is wrong. There was an error in the FEN parser. It is fixed now. But there is another problem: after a castling from the opponent, the engine plays illegal move. I must take the time to review everything re...

Thanks for this, I have not tried it out yet, but was wandering whether OpenCritter could be the strongest open-source chess engine in Pascal?

Yes, I believe. Booot is also very strong (but works only on Windows).
