How to call the Satana move generation

[stegemma]

In the next release of Satana i've implemented an incremental move generator just to know that maybe this is not the right name. In our G6 Group, someone say me that the incremental move generation is a generator with separated steps for captures and quiet moves. In Satana i've this but i generate only the moves of those pieces interested in the last move. For sample, in starting position after e4 i generate only moves for:

Qd1, Re1, Bf1, Ng1, Pe4

all the other pieces already have theyr moves saved and ready to be played, for both colors.

So, how do you call this kind of move generation?

Hi,

this is incremental move generation. Seperating the type of moves is used in staged move generation.

I was the one that gave you the wrong definition. I'm sorry but i hadn't understood that you werent talking about staged generation but ab out a real incremental one. Sorry
