Zillions is the only computer language I know that does not allow to test for equality.
In many games I would like to know whether
the piece-type on one position is equal to the piece-type on another position:
(verify (piece-equal? a7 c4))
or, if I am currently on a7, just
(verify (piece-equal? c4))
I have to code for every single piece-type
separately:
(if (piece? type1 a7) (verify (piece? type1 c4))
(if (piece? type2 a7) (verify (piece? type2 c4))
(if (piece? type3 a7) (verify (piece? type3 c4))
....
I have to do this for EVERY pair of places that I want to check.
Especially in games with many piece-types it
would be a big advantage to have the equal-test. |
