Wouldn't it be more sensible to replace Fruit by Stockfish? Stockfish is much stronger (I assume the point of including Fruit is having a strong engine).Fairy-Max, Pulsar and Fruit.

That is a great idea, and originally how I wanted to do it. But nobody knew how to make a web installer, I least of all. So we are stuck with a simple nsis script. We had someone who knew how to do that.Dann Corbit wrote:Here's an idea:
Have a checkbox of the engines you want.
After checking all the boxes you like, web requests collect the engines and install them.
Code: Select all
URL where it is hosted,
installation folder,
required command line to unpack the download,
command line to run the engine,
author,
country,
Elo rating,
