Android Demo

-
If your browser supports the video tag, below you will see a short movie of my first Android animation demo. Otherwise you will just see a boring text message. Let me know if this works for you; it seems an interesting new way of presenting features in my Android applications.

Works for me (Chrome 5.0.375.86 on a Windows laptop). And cool demo, Aart. :)

You mention that this is an interesting new way of presenting features in your Android app; can you elaborate? Was this video concocted in some clever new way?

Thanks Will. I just learned how to use gtk-recordMyDesktop and related tools on my Linux box, so it was new to me, but probably not to anyone else I am afraid :-)

It works for me as well, in Chrome on an iMac (Mac OSX, 10.5), with Flash Block on.

Sigh. Anonymous, I suggest you have a look at an earlier posting (http://aartbik.blogspot.com/2009/11/en-passant-and-castling.html) on the en-passant rule and castling.

Checkers Move Generation

-
I was able to make a small improvement in the checkers move generator (written in Java for the Android SDK). The following table shows run times of several perft depths before and after optimization when run on the emulator (which should mimic actual run times on the phone quite well). DEPTH #LEAF NODES ORIGINAL OPTIMIZED TIME TIME ==================================== 7 179740 2.9s 1.9s 8 845931 14.2s 9.7s 9 3963680 66.3s 45.6s 10 18391564 294.6s 208.7s P.S. Runtimes for a C++ checkers move generator on a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo are given at my checkers page .

Since I am very enthusiastic about all those new beautiful e-boards that are coming out recently, such as the Millennium Tournament 55 , I am also very enthusiastic again to add new features to Chess for Android . Today I added the "move coach", which has been a feature of Chess for Android since the beginning, to e-boards as well. To enable or disable the feature, simply go to the option menu, and toggle the option. I demonstrate the new feature on e-boards in the following brief video. Please let me know what you think. I hope to release this to Google Play very soon!
