Hello again,
I got a lot of interesting and useful comments on my posting about Haskell Chess. Somebody suggested using the program for benchmarks. Several people asked me to open the program for contributions. And others were just interested in the exercises.
It is probably the best to branch the development, so that we have a teachers' and a hackers' version (ease of understanding and learning paradigms vs. efficiency and implementation of full ruleset). I will do the necessary steps next week (svn, etc). Somebody already offered help for cabalizing hsChess.
hsChess has been cabalised, and is available now via darcs; darcs get http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/contrib/hsChess/ You can also browse the source directly: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/contrib/hsChess/
Several people asked me for the exercises so I started the wiki page http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Learning_Haskell_With_Chess on this topic. I will add more content when I am back to office.
Every contribution and discussion is welcome.
I am happy to host the code at the above url, unless Steffen, you have a better place to host the repository? -- Don
