I won't even try to put a description of the changes, because I strongly doubt that anyone will read this.

Ok, I have a response. This is a plus. I'd rate it (being pessimistic) still slightly weaker than Fruit 2.1, but with a completely different playing style.

I'd say that FruitFly 1.1 is arrogant, to an extent.

Main changes:
Complete rewrite which is what has taken me so long.

Eval:
New material values; untuned.
King tropism; untuned.
Tempo bonus; untuned.
Superlinear interpolator; untuned.
Blocked fianchetto penalty; untuned.

Search:
Quite a bit taken (externally, I have not RE'd) Fruit 05/11/03; untuned by me.
Sliding LMR as used by Rodent; untuned.
Futility done at depth <= 3; untuned.
Aspirated search; thanks Harald; untuned.
Static nullmove; untuned.
Double nullmove replaces verification search; untuned.
Late move Pruning; untuned.

If you need to know what any of the settings mean, just ask.

Sometimes we read, but nothing is said ...
And download.

Indeed there is only code, not executables.

Look in your github yesterday 4 months and nothing changes.
Encouragement to work, the results arrived.

Dad wiped my hard drive. Nuff said.

Is anyone at all impressed at this for saying I am just a 12 year old?

Also, as I have only an apple computer, and an old one at that, I haven't been able to produce any executables.

Now I have little time,
wanted to do a quick build,
but it is not possible at this time.

Code: Select all

  ***** ClCompile (X64 - Intel C++)
1>  attack.cpp
1>  board.cpp
1>  book.cpp
1>  eval.cpp
1>eval.cpp(251): error : more than one instance of overloaded function "abs" matches the argument list:
1>              function "abs(int)"
1>              function "abs(long)"
1>              function "abs(__int64)"
1>              argument types are: (unsigned int)
1>    	 tropism = 14 - (abs(COL(from) - COL(dest)) + abs(ROW(from) - ROW(dest)));

I *know* the file extension says c++, but can you try using the Intel C compiler?

It compiles perfectly using GCC on my computer.

This is obviously a problem with your c++ library, as abs should only have int and long.

I have uploaded a new version which uses a preprocessor macro ABS() instead of the C standard library abs() in eval.cpp.

Download it again, and report back.

I also happened to Microsoft compiler,
I know it's a minor problem.

But now I must get away from the computer.
If no after compilation.
What I compilare. (in two hours)
