cheng3 uci v1.0

Post by mar »

Hi all,

I'm just releasing my ~2300 engine (Windows/UCI only)
The download link is here: http://lazybug.wz.cz/cheng3_uci_v1.0.zip
If someone would be willing to host it elsewhere I'd be happy.

Thanks and enjoy

Mediafire seems to do a great job hosting binaries for free.
If you are willing to release the source, there's a multitude of good options.
IMO there's no shame in releasing messy source code.
Everybody here who's an honest programmer has written a mess, and won't judge harshly.

I'll try to setup an account there and post a new link.

As for the source, you hit the nail on the head. The source is messy (more than that in fact), that's one of the main reasons why I prefer to keep the source closed. I've nothing to hide, though. But maybe I will clean it up a bit and release under GPL.
Thanks.

Yes, that's a problem with the host, it sometimes doesn't finish
the download.
Tried mediafire as Justin recommended, try this link instead:

(hope it works)

Do you think I could add this to the zip file? (and give you credit?)

Martin - it's just a free image from the net that I've used "Paint" on to make a logo. I'm not a wonderfully creative graphic artist like some of our other members who make logos. You're welcome to use it in your package (for as long as your engine remains free), but it would be nice to include the logos of others too for choice. :)

Cheers,
Graham.
