Glaurung 2.1 under git

[mcostalba]

Git is a distributed version control system focused on speed, effectivity and real-world usability.

As a little showcase I have cloned Glaurung 2.1, modified a bit and pushed on http://repo.or.cz/w/glaurung_clone.git (a free git hosting site)

It took me less then 10 minutes to publish the code. Well, modifying the code took me more

From there everybody can browse the code, the patches (commitdiff link), see the history of changes togheter with their rationale and download the sources as a tarball/zipped file. Developers with write privileges can also add new patches.

I'm really no expert of chess programming but from the little I have seen you do very interesting stuff here, indeed. If I found time (I guess I need a lot) I would like to contribute in some way.

Sorry if this sounds a bit of git advertising, in this case I apologize in advance and kindly ask you to ignore the post.

Thanks
Marco

Hello Marco,

Thanks for the tip about the std::istringstream class, which I wasn't aware about. I'm a C/C++ newbie.

I use Darcs as the version control system for my own Glaurung development, by the way.

Hi Tord,

I am quite new to chess programming.

I have modified the code _only_ to better uderstand it. I have tried to keep the same functionality as I will keep to do also in the future, at least until I don't feel myself confident enough to try something different.

The UCI interface is the less chess related part and the easiset for me. It is also the first one I found reading the code in an execution flow oriented way.

This is what I'm actually doing (now I have just started with the search code), I am reading according to the execution flow without stick to much to the details, just to have an idea of the design, then I will reapeat all with improved detail: a kind of iterative deepening source code reading

I also have some questions, but I'll keep for myself until I have dig deeper, I don't want to bother you with silly things.

Marco
