Hi,
I am writing some C++ code, and the problem is analogous to the
following situation:
Take a Chess Board of 8x8 (nxn) blocks and I have 8 (n) horses. Like
in chess, the horses are placed at a distance of 2 and a half blocks
apart from the preceding horse. For example, Horse B is at a distance
of 2 and a half blocks from horse A, Horse C is at a distance of 2 and
a half blocks from horse B and so on. If one of the horses is moved
to any different block on the board, the other horses should realign
themselves so that the distances between the horse and the preceding
horse should always be 2 and a half blocks.
So, how can I ensure this?
Thanks!
Paul.

This is a good discussion issue for news:comp.progr amming,
where algorithms are discussed. This isn't a C++ language
issue, so I am setting the followups.

Do you guys know if there is a program that can generate chess moves? I
recently wrote a chess game but its only 2 player... I deceided it
was too difficult to come up with the logic for the AI movements... anyone
know where i can find a DLL that will generate chess moves? Ideally, the
DLL would accept moves made by the human player and generate an AI move
based on that. Any help would be much appreciated

Well Python is not a good language for writing a chess engine (even if
a chess engine exists:
http://www.kolumbus.fi/jyrki.alakuijala/pychess.html), but it could be
grat for chess interfaces, for drawing boards, and similar things. I
foudn out a library for these things
(http://www.alcyone.com/software/chess/). Does anyone konw about more
chess related modules?

When playing games, perhaps the most simple is tic-tac-toe. The game
has two simple strategies, one is defensive and the other offensive.
It is not hard at first to learn how to tie games when playing an
opponent. And then the next stage in development comes after you
learn how to beat an opponent. You really can only employ either
strategy when you get to make the first move, and your opponent will
quickly learn what you are doing...

Hi Everyone,
I'm working on developing a chess game and i decided to use c++ for
its object oriented approach. I have a bass class unit and is
inherited to distinct number of units (like king, queen, pawns
etc...), i will have pure virtual functions in the base class for
move(), attack() etc which are applicable to all units and would
override them in the child classes. Function specific to pawn like

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
