I just wanted to post some code that I wrote when I was playing around with 3D / graphics in Linux.

It simply displays a rotating wireframe cube using SDL.  But the code is simple enough that anyone should be able to take it and expand on it.  The code was supposed to be a basic 3D engine, so I named it ‘mmgfx’  :)

mmgfx.tgz

Any comments would be appreciated!

I just ‘released’ my first version (which is not much at all), but I wanted to put it out there to people know that its being worked on and here are just a few of the goals of v1:

• Full OOP codebase
• Flexible user interface
• Ability to play against it on IRC
• Learn from its previous games

I want to see how ’strong’ I can make it without resorting to opening/ending lookup tables.

Check out MMChess for more details and to download it.

Right now, my first goal is to get it to play legal chess, then just watch for threats (and avoid them) and take any free material.  So essentially, have a horizon of one ply.

My question is:  How strong [Elo rating] would such an engine be?

I usually hate CMS’s –Im the type that edits his html/php files in [vim|kate|notepad].  But since I wanted to completely redo my website and didnt have the time to give it the proper TLC it needed, I decided to give WP a try.  I mean, how bad could it be?

So far I actually like WP.  But we’ll  see how much I like it when I try adding custom php pages,  json-scripts, and all that jazz….
