Scan

It would be excelent if Scan has his own user friendly windows GUI ready to go.
It´s not easy to an average user to configure all that stuff under Dam 2.2 or any other GUI.
At least for me...

I hope that someone manage that.

Thank you.

Fabien I have a request. Write how to set the option tt-size with 8 GB of RAM. It's about time to 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes.

This weekend I want to compile Scan 2.0 with Visual Studio 2015, so far I was able to activate Scan 1.0 with the provious version of Visual Studio.
I got 2 errors, one related to socket which was also mentioned in this forum.
The other one was in tuple.cpp:

Code: Select all

return bit_t(-bit(sq + 1));
Error	C4146	unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned	Scan20	tuple.cpp	137

Did Rein or Harm see the same error?

Harm showed it to me, but I thought it was only a warning. The compiler is doing its job of trying to detect common mistakes, but that's not the case here. Funnily enough, you can probably silence it by replacing -n with 0 - n.

I have no idea, but it shouldn't matter much. I would say 20, 22, 23, 24. I don't remember Ed's suggestions but they are perfectly fine too. I know that Michel spent time experimenting with this in Dragon.

Fabien, this worked.
Thanks.
Apparently the whole Computer Draughts community is working (despite the good weather) to understand the magic of Scan...

Hi Fabien.

I wonder why you do not do Fabien Scan 3.0 version with its own GUI. So to get away from Gui program Dam.

Like i sugested in late August 7, it will be super if some kind soul could manage this.
I think Scan deserves it's own GUI.

Meanwhile, do any of the esteemed members of this forum can post a download link of Scan's ALREADY inside the Dam GUI ?
This way we ALL could enjoy this powerfull software and not only just a few...

Thank you very much.

I can only think of Bert, but he's busy. I could add GUIDE support to Scan, but it seemed to me that the GUIs were not fully operational, since they only needed to support a single engine so far. I understood for example that the public Damage GUI has not been updated for a while?

As a matter of comparison, was Horizon integrated to a GUI?

I am surprised why do not you do the same GUI in Scan.

Same as what?

You use chess engines, so you know. There are hundreds of engines, but only 10-20 GUIs. And that's a good thing; there is no need for every single engine to have its own GUI.

What I mean is you to do own GUI in Scan.

I did, but it's not easy for you to use; it was designed only for Leiden and me as the user. Maybe you don't realise that a good GUI is at least one year of work.

I have very little knowledge of GUI toolkits, and it would indeed take me a year to write one. But I see people quickly writing awesome GUIs in e.g. Qt (platform independent C++) all the time. Somehow they must be using a different abstraction level than trying to control low-level mouse events etc.

I have implemented Pipes in the Damage GUI.
So Damage is now able to work via Pipes and Sockets.
I'm able to start from the GUI Scan and redirect the Scan output to the Damage GUI, and vice versa.
I'm working to implement and activate all the Scan Hub commands.
I also (one day) will move to Qt (its now MFC), but as this is really time consuming I need to focus on other things.
