Ok where do I start?

Post by LucenaTheLucid » Tue Jul 06, 2010 2:28 am

It's boring sitting on the sidelines of chess programming. In August 2011 I'll start in school for a basic computer programming degree...however I want to start learning now so I can write a simple chess engine.

I downloaded Codeblocks, but it seems like a bad starting point. Any recommendations?

If you're on Windows, get Visual Studio C++ Express or Eclipse. I use VSC++ for my job -- it's a fine IDE.
