best GENERIC SOURCE CODE to start???

Postby pimidrez » 27 Apr 2009, 20:33

Hi guys!!
Is Good to be back here!

last year I begun to develop a chess engine in VisualBasic 6.0, but it was terrible slow...or maybe my search was terrible bad too..
so I want to begin a new project in C o C++... unfortunately I am no expert on that languajes, and I would love if someone can tell me where I can find a generic source code that has the protocol UCI implemented, so I can directly go to program the search tree, the evaluation, etc.

Im no trying to still a source code of an existing program...i only want the protocol connection that works with some explanation so then I can go on.

thanks..sorry for my bad english!

If you want to see a nice UCI parser, look at Fruit or Glaurung.
If you want to code in Basic, then I guess that the best sample code is LarsenVB (it's winboard, though -- not UCI).

The dotnet version in this archive does not work. That was just me fooling around with a conversion to .net that I never finished.
