A freeware move generator source ccode for your own engines

[mainsworthy]

Hello , Ive finished Mainsworthy ( http://uk.geocities.com/avalomhilly/TextChes.zip ) and have started on Mainsworthy Advanced!

I remebered someone wanted a move generator and he was right a Rapid chess design system would need a premade move gen, so Ive put mine online ( http://uk.geocities.com/avalomhilly/movegen.zip )
its freeware its c++ source code and its 11kb only.

Ive also included the source code for Mainsworthy here, so you have an example of putting the move generator to work, the code a little messy, but you will get the idea.

Here is a version which will compile under Microsoft Visual C++:

I fixed a few obvious bugs and left one that I could not decipher (see comment with BUGBUG:DRC)

Wow Dann didnt expect this, I will read through it tonight, thanks Mark

if you change these function names in attack2.cpp

int xshiftright(unsigned char board[8])
int xshiftleft(unsigned char board[8])
int xshiftup(unsigned char board[8])
int xshiftdown(unsigned char board[8])

change them to:

int shiftright(unsigned char board[8])
int shiftleft(unsigned char board[8])
int shiftup(unsigned char board[8])
int shiftdown(unsigned char board[8])

drop the x from the name , then attack.cpp is no longer needed
so you can remove the include <attack.cpp> from move.cpp



thanks Mark
