In <https://github.com/Koistinen/chess/blob/main/chess.nim> I am using the unicode flexibility Nim allows: type Piece = enum ♚ = -6, ♛, ♜, ♝, ♞, ♟, □, ♙, ♘, ♗, ♖, ♕, ♔ type Pos* = object # 64 bytes bd: array[0..63, Piece] g50: int side: int ep: int castling: int proc StartingPos: Pos = result.bd = [ ♖,♘,♗,♕,♔,♗,♘,♖, ♙,♙,♙,♙,♙,♙,♙,♙, □,□,□,□,□,□,□,□, □,□,□,□,□,□,□,□, □,□,□,□,□,□,□,□, □,□,□,□,□,□,□,□, ♟,♟,♟,♟,♟,♟,♟,♟, ♜,♞,♝,♛,♚,♝,♞,♜] result.castling = 0xf Run
In the future I am planning to use variable names like ♔sq for the square of the white king. My understanding is that this is not guaranteed for the future but it is likely that only unicode characters that are likely to be used as operators and similar will likely cause the code to break if used in this way. Am I right in my understanding? I have not seen others use Nim this way, what examples are there? Any comments on my code? (It is supposed to prioritize clarity and not care about speed.)
