Chess was written in BASIC?!

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

Lua? Are those even arrays? 🤷‍♂️

shouldn't there be a black rook on a1 ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 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.
