Hand coded Winboard/UCI Javascript Engine List

[op12no2]

Does anybody know of any other hand-coded Javascript (not Java) Winboard/UCI compatible engines (i.e. can be played in Winboard/Arena/Cutechess etc) other than:-

Lozza
Tomitank
Wukong

Thanks

Garbochess?

From the XB/UCI chronology (Details list) filtered for 'JS' in the PL column

Code: Select all

134	CeruleanJS	0.1.1		-		2016-01	D*	yes	JS	XB
481	Lozza		1.10		2.0		2021-02	B1*	yes	JS	UCI
588	P4wn		2.01		-		2014-03		yes	JS	UCI
651	RapChess	17-10-17	CS 2021-02-23	2021-02	D*	yes	C# (JS)	UCI
800	tomitankChess#	1.4		5.0		2021-01	A3	yes	JS	UCI
852	Wukong		2020-08-13	JS 1.5		2021-01	C2*	yes	JS (C)	UCI

RapChess was JS until 2020 now rewritten for C#
You can find the link in the main chronology

(not included or collected are JS experiments of existing programs like Martins mentioned GarboJS,
this means you'll surely find a repo with a SF-JS somewhere etc...)

interesting, I always thought Garbochess was a JS only engine, but CPW (and you) proves me wrong...
anyway, it's manually (re)written (i.e. handcoded), not compiled via emscripten to target asm.js like (I assume) SF-JS

I wouldn't be surprised if handwritten versions of Vice and TSCP in JS exist too :)

Thanks Martin/Guenther,

NB: I did write a UCI shell for GarboChessJS some years ago but when somebody tested it the results were not great and I let it drop. Still have the code though.

Edit: My assumption has always been that I missed up the interface because GarbochessJS was quite strong.

VICE? I'm certain of it.

The "Writing an engine in Javascript" basically implements the same engine, in about the same way, as the series "Writing an engine in C" (which is VICE). Both series are by the same author, BlueFever Software.

Latest Lozza won't work for me on my popcount i5 (Windows 7).

These JS engines are a bit strange....On Lozza when I went to rt click and save the engine the size was 2.5 or 2.8 MB (engine won't work) when I downloaded the entire file folder and checked the sizes Lozza was around 200 to 250k.......engine would work...both files said Lozza.js.the real one and the non working one...2 different sizes...Dunno..
