Visualizations help, so I've uploaded a BitBoard viewer for the chess algorithms to Project Distributor

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still pimping out Project Distributor, but it really is a great little tool. We should be able to go live and take new users/groups soon, and the source code may get posted up as a project as well so you can host your very own toolbox. I'll talk about some of the cool features that we'll be adding at a later time though, now is the time for Chess!

Well, the new tool is basically a source dump of my previous engine and some functions from the new engine. I've also added a specialized app that lets you see the move generation in action. You can click on board locations, select the piece type and you'll see your starting location as a black dot and all movement locations as a series of red dots. Not very cool, but it gives you an idea of what is going on. If you find some cool ways to generate moves quickly that I haven't hit upon, plug them in, see if they work by using the visualization UI and then let me know. Maybe we'll suck that bad boy into my final engine.
