New Year's resolution: a chess engine written in BASH script

[benstoker]

It's stoopid, I know. But, it's been done in Javascript. I would like to see an obviously very basic script that searches 3 or 4 ply, with simple piece value eval. A minimax and no alpha-beta, etc.

Anybody out there who could help?

The world is crying out for a BASH chess engine.

Will you call it BAnSHee? Or maybe just BASHer?

Actually, since it will take a beating, maybe BASHee is best.

"BASHee" it is.

But, you are incorrect about it "taking a beating". I plan to ask that it be run on the 128 bit Toby Tal 'server'.

Well, it can't be that difficult to translate micro-Max 1.6 into a bash script? Only bout 100 lines...

Haskell would be much more interesting!

But can you do C pointers in BASH? Too advanced for BASH, non?

I took quite a bit of time, but I did it! And it plays pretty strong too!

Here is my script:

Code: Select all

-------[ snip ]-------
#!/bin/bash

/home/drd/bin/komodo

Looks like a clone to me.

Nope. That's a clown.
