Unspeakably cool. Now, if only I had my own Cray to make the experience complete.
When I was at the UW, students could get Cray time for projects.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
What compiler was used?
Was it gfortran or something else?
OK, I see in the batch files it was Intel ifort
Unfortunately, I don't have it.
I had an inkling to make an xboard interface for cray blitz.

Hi Dann,
I used latest Intel Fortran Compiler. I couldn't get it to compile with gfortran.
If you look in the src folder you will find the src files converted to C (translated by f2c).
I managed to compile it with the C files with Gcc/Clang but executable would just exit when launched.

best,

I just noticed. I didn't link the C files with libf2c.lib as you are supposed to, Maybe it'll work now.
I installed ifx and ifort.
There were a couple errors installing, so I am not sure it will work.
This is an AMD machine, not Intel.
I had problems with the Intel C++ compiler years ago with incorrect code generation (which is why we switched back to Microsoft Visual Studio at the time).
Their profiler was heavily stunted under Windows on AMD, so you could not see what was going on as well on an AMD platform.
I was able to compile and link the Fortran with both ifx and ifort.
But in neither case do I see the computer's move when I let it go first.
How do I know what the computer played?

I think you've found a bug there. It won't play a move until you've made one even when it's playing as white.

Ok, I figured it out.
After you start a new game and answer 'yes' to choose cray blitz as white it will immediately asks you to enter a move, just type 'go' and it will make it's first move. Type 'd' after this to display the board and see the move.
