• First Draft of Reference PSN Library Complete

  The first version of the reference API and PSN reader is finished. All correct Portable Shogi Notation files should now be parsable by the reader. The next step is to create an installer for the PSN reader and instructions for finding and reporting bugs or inadequacies in the API. At that point detailed work on the PSN White Paper will begin.

• Initial Code in SVN

  Initial dump of PSN Library is in SVN. More to come soon. Also, there is a screen shot of the demo app. The purpose of the demo app is mostly to give a good idea and starting place for people wishing to develop against the library. The demo app also doubles as a very basic shogi database viewer. All of this should be considered alpha quality at this point.

• First Draft in the Works

  We're starting out with a library to test the PSNs that already exist and the KIF files that exist. Once that is working, we can with some confidence produce a White Paper inclusively describing the current PSN format in detail, and how to convert to and from KIF format. Most of the first code will be donated from Samurai Chess this week. Look for it in the SVN repository.
