English Checkers

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

I have a request for people who know how to program. I have a certain engine checkers English 32 bit along with the base ends. I'd like to convert to 64-bit with the base ends, so to use engine under the program CheckerBoard. The person who will do it heartily thank you.

The file with the base endings is available at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BydD6s ... sp=sharing

Program CheckerBoard is available at http://www.fierz.ch/checkers.htm

You can't convert a program from 32 to 64 bit when you don't have the source code, converting a binary program is virtually impossible.

Checkerboard needs the engine to be a DLL, this complicates things even more, the engine you are talking about has it's own GUI and it seems it also needs the engine to be a DLL just like Checkerboard, but I guess the entrypoints are totally different and incompatible with Checkerboard.

checkerboard is also available as a 32-bit program

I only I have the source code to make it available.

Do you mean that you have the source code?

If you really have the source I can try to convert it to 64 bit, if it doesn't use bit-boards it won't make much difference in speed though, sometimes it can even run slower. And the question remains whether the DLL interface is compatible with Checkerboard, if it is not compatible it will take extra effort to get it running under Checkerboard and I don't know if it's worth the extra work.
