Devlog 6: A need for speed!

After my first (still pending) ship, I needed something else to focus my energy on other than the fundamentals. I landed on time management: I can make the engine more efficient with its time. And I’ve kind of done that, in a way. Firstly, I made the search algorithm track its time, so if it was iterating on a node while it surpassed its allowed time, it would just return the value it already had. I played around with the time value, and it seemed to work! When I set it to 1, the engine played moves in around 1.1 seconds. When I set it to 15, it played moves in exactly 15 seconds! It doesn’t dynamically adjust depth yet, but this is a good start!
