Chess was written in BASIC?!

This is probably not going to be funny to anyone but me, but actually it was written in Lua.

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lua? Are those even arrays? 🤷‍♂️

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

Well, no, they're tables, because where else would you play chess? 🙃

shouldn't there be a black rook on a1 ?

[–] velvetThunder@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

The black rook causes a Buffer Overflow / Out Of Bounce Exception. It's not a single Data type that flips after it gets incremented after the maximum storageable value.

At least that's what I am thinking of, trying to implement chess in Java or C.
