Example for bullshit code. Don't look about static vars and coding. It's
only testing dummy core code without GUI.
This should never be add to WB ;)
But idea is interesting for enines which don't support draw feature.

Well, I'll most likely be working on the WinBoard pieces, most of my gui
programming experience is with Windows and the Win32 API. I've just
joined the project, so I'm not working on anything specific right now,
I've been looking through the Bug/ToDo list for now, becoming more
familiar with the code. Tim says you have a lot of patches to merge into
what will become 4.2.7, so I was planning on holding off on diving in
too deep until then. We'll have to all have a general discussion at some
point about where to start, where this is all going, there seems to be a
lot of possibilities beyond bugfixes. One of the old ToDos is splitting
the code into multiple files, some of the files are pretty huge. I've
been looking at some of the feature adds that might be somewhat simple
to implement as well, but again, we're in a semi-freeze on the code
right now, I don't want to introduce any new features right now. Anyway,
those are my thoughts for now, glad to be aboard :)
