Chess Brain Controller

Hi,

I've created a Chess Brain Controller to controll the service install of chess brain. It only works with Visual Basic.NET, so you'll need to install the .NET framework.

What this program does is start and stop the chess brain client that is installed as a service. Once it is minimized, it will sit in the system tray.

To install, just place it and the icons in the same directory that Chess Brain is installed, normally C:\Program Files\CBPeerNode. That's it! 🙂

If you press the start button and the service is already started, no problem, it doesn't start the client twice.

Enjoy!

I know the server is VERY SLOW, but it is a 6KB zip file.

If it doesn't work or anything, please let me know.
 
does this only control the service running on that particular computer, or all computers on the network?

What advantage is there over running the normal GUI client?

Just the particular computer. I used the command line verison until there was a service install. I just wrote this program because it was a pain for me to turn the service on and off when I wanted to. I'm not sure what advantages there are over the GUI client because I never ran it. I was under the impression that running the GUI one would be slower because it took CPU cycles to draw the GUI, like for SETI and Distributed Folding.

I meant the tray application, which doesn't draw anything to the screen. Sorry for the confusion

Oh, didn't even know that existed. 😱 Well, my program stays on the tray and you can turn the client on and off. I just downloaded their tray application and when I shut it down, it left the tray. Also, their program has more chess brain stuff which mine can't do 😱. I just made the program so it would be easy for me to turn the service on and off easily. It's all it does and it does it well. 😀
