Cupcake

Post by Dan Honeycutt »

Hi All,

I while back I decided to learn Java programming. I figured a good exercise would be to write a simple chess engine. The result of that effort is Cupcake.

Cupcake is a very weak engine and I have no aspiration to make it very strong. If that bug ever bites me I'll return to Bruja as the speed limitations of Java are pretty dire. Cupcake's move generator is almost identical to Bruja's but its speed is about half. What I do hope to accomplish with Cupcake is make it fun to play. Even this rather simple initial release has a lot of customization ability.

Here is a little package with Cupcake 1.0 of Maestro Dan Honeycutt ready to be used under Fritz 7-8-9-10-11-12-13.
Just in the situation that the Launch4J compile has a problem with your CPU ,I used the original .jar Java executable for this package:

-unzip the folder "UCI Cupcake 1.0" somewhere on your PC ,
-install Wb2Uci.exe like UCI engine !


Thank you again Maestro Dan !

Some guys say you stole my code from Moron 1.0.
I hope it is not truth.

Fern,

I think he did. I used the similarity tool to compare Cupcake and Moron 1.0. The percentage of moves matched between the two engines was 102.9% :shock: . He appears to have blatantly copied Moron.

Call your henchmen,
Adam

Only ideas, I took lots of ideas from Moron but no code.
