Hi There,

Firstly excellent work on the Engine. Now, I have a few possible design ideas that would make it even more enjoyable to use. While using the Engine the first thing I noticed was compile time. Its around a minute or two. Would it be possible to have the Engine Library seperate from the Chess Game and have it compiled to a static lib, or dll? That way, you would only need to compile the engine once, then compile time would be shorter for applications developed with the engine. You could also have the Chess Demo using that dll as an example of how to use the Engine.

Again excellent work on your engine.

Thanks, Leiden.

I hadn't thought about incremental linking. Is that the same thing as using Precompiled Headers?

For the dll wouldnt you need to add __declspec(dllexport) to all your functions/class methods to get a library and dll, then just use the header files with dllimport?

Theoretically that would work wouldnt it? I'm gonna have a play with the incremental linking thing. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah I was using my own VC project. Didnt know about ConfigVCAuto? Now I do though. I honestly have no idea really about dll's and GCC/VC++. I'm sure you would have more of an idea than me.
