Luciole (UCI engine written in Lua)

[CMCanavessi]

Nice, any idea about the rating?

Thank you. A little stronger than NEG 1.3.

It works fine in Arena as well, with an Arena GUI book.

Good to know!

This is a great project Roland; congrats!

We use Lua spliced into our manufacturing software as a scripting layer.

Once the error fixed, I could run a gauntlet of 500 games without disconnection nor illegal move. So I release it as version 0.0.5.

Hello,
strangely for me it's the opposite, the previous version is far more stable:

Hello! Thanks for testing. Indeed, there were errors in the modifications that I made yesterday.

I remade the 0.0.5 release this morning. Sorry for the inconvenience. After update 0.0.5 seems stable here. If ever you have time to retry...

Regards.

Thank you. It's a very simple program, only a toy. There are more serious things here. (But without UCI nor CECP interface unfortunately.)

Thank you for the test and for the confirmation. Glad to know that it works.

Hello! I took one hour to try to improve the playing style of Luciole. Very simple things, like "moving all the pieces". The result is not bad. No longer "a1b1, b1a1".

So I am proud to present Luciole 0.0.6.

I made several tournaments without crash nor illegal move. If ever you use it and find a crash or an illegal move, please send to me the last line of luciole.log.

Some tournaments results.
