Devlog 8: the procrastination is the hard part

I’m going to try not to sound like a cringey motivational speaker, so bear with me. I’ve been procrastinating for a while now on one final part of the UCI implementation: the go command. It’s really complicated and I just didn’t want to write a parser for it, so since it was created, the engine hasn’t been able to change its search time based on how much time it has left. This is a problem, because it couldn’t reliably play with non-infinite time controls.

Anyway, after I waited for the willpower to write the parser I just sat down and did it, and it wasn’t actually that hard!

The one issue is that it seems to be weaker than it was before the time controls. That’s definitely not a huge problem I’ll have to fix later!
