Not a copy, of course, but the ideas contained have migrated outward.
The great lesson of Fabian's fruit is writing solid, bug free code (his use of assert() is masterful).
Is there a modern engine that does not use LMR?

More than any others, we can thank Fabian and Tord and the SF team.

But of course, that is how it should be'
Those engines were open source

I do not mean to dismiss the efforts of the other open source engines, which are all valuable
And I do not mean to dismiss all of the teaching sites (the first great one of which was Bruce Moreland's)

And the great lesson of Vas (zillions of fast games to test a feature). Yes, I know others were already doing this, but he was the one who spilled the beans.

:lol: Nice to see some humor on this, at times, dull forum.
+1 Yes, and he beat me to it. I had the same joke in mind. :lol:
The one I was going to make:

"You forgot Crafty :lol: "

I guess it's no longer funny after Dann's comment, but it's true.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.
