New to Python, which I really like BTW.
First serious prog. Hope you like it. I know it needs a 'can't move if
your King would be put into check' test. But the weighted value of the
King piece does a surprising emergent job.
It looks a little like a C program ported line-by-line to Python. For
example, in Python, there's no reason not to keep the board as an 8x8 array
instead of a 64-element list. That by itself would make the code easier to
read. It would also let you replace this:
for row in range(8):
for col in range(8):
with the more Pythonic:
for row in board:
for cell in row:
I would probably replace the piece_type function with a map that maps the
piece number directly to the piece
Is a Python list as fast as a bytearray ? I didn't copy a C prog BTW !
Yep, after I posted the code I started thinking about how to do that
sort of thing :) Thanks, for the advice.
Chris
