Embla 0.9

Post by flok »

Hi,

I've put version 0.9 of Embla on the web.
https://www.vanheusden.com/Embla/

Only linux packages sofar, maybe later today a windows build (linux builds are only a matter of triggering a build in obs; windows builds are a bit more involved).

Play-strength should be a bit better.

Hi,

Difficult to say! Some tests show up to 100 elo difference but I think in practice maybe half.

Thanks for the compliments. I obtained the logo via www.fiverr.com

how can I use the engine after installing the deb file?

or the better question: where's the binary file? expected it in /usr/games but it's not there

It is in /usr/bin
If you do:
dpkg -L embla
then you will see every file installed by the .deb-file.

Hello Folkert,

there is no exe-file in the "Embla-0.9-win64.zip" but just DLLs!?
