A slightly off topic question for Alessandro
Posted: 01 Jun 2006, 11:10
Hi Alessandro,
I have been a fan of the game Risk ever since I was a kid, which was a long long time ago. And even before I decided to write a chess engine and before there was a winboard I envisioned what today I would call Riskboard with the ability for people to write risk engines for it. I would have written Riskboard myself if I thought that it was possible for me to have been successful. My question to you, since you are very familiar with winboard is this. How much different do you think the aproach would have to be to write Riskboard and do you have any insight to offer in the creation of such a program? If there is interest in Riskboard then I could try to write it, but, if someone else would write it then it would become available much sooner than what I could do. Any thoughts?
