The source code was available in the first versions, your best bet is to find somebody who still has this old versions. Which do not work anyway. But if you are a programmer, I am sure you can fix them. Although YaY is not longer in development, the source code is private.

Good luck,

P.S. Or start from scratch with the original YtoICS, which can be found at sourceforge.net

I once tried fiddling with it to work for wine, which can be conversely downloaded for mac as well. Unfortunately I remember the whole program would need to be tweaked in order for it to work. I don't remember exactly what was the problem was, as it was a long time ago.

If you use YtoICS as your starting point, you do not have to reinvent the wheel, just figure out how to add CAPTCHA support, which is not that hard with a packet sniffer.

Unfortunately, for every honest engine user there are nine cheaters who want to remove the warnings and use YaY against human players, this has been proven over and over and for this reason the code is not public.

I really which things were different, releasing the code to the public will remove the burden off me and I will go to other things knowing that there is someone else developing new versions of YaY and/or YaYp- sights-, too bad reality is not like that.

I know that if someone spends some hard time figuring things out, two things may happen:
- If that someone is a cheater, he/she will keep the program to himself/herself.
- If he/she is not a cheater, he/she will understand my point and release the program only in obfuscated/exe mode.

I can live with either one of those two outcomes, and for that reason I am giving you hints.

Well to be frank, I only use YAY against computer opponents. If humans wish to play it, they're given fair warning. Experience tells me that most programs work better on linux and even though I can't easily use Windows engines (Rybka, Fritz) easily outside of a WINE container, some of the open source engines are not too terrible.

eg. Blender, a program I use for works works 80% better on linux.

Please read the documentation that comes with YaY, there are guides on how to use it in the Documentation folder located inside the YaY folder on your C drive.

We took time to write these guides so please read them :-)

The Documentation was not meant to cover every possible fatal error inflicted by users not following instructions. The documentation was made to instruct users what to do without guessing and therefore creating unecesesary fatal errors.

Read the documentation, but read it to follow instructions, do not read it hoping you gonna find an explanation for errors.

We do not support YaY any more and therefore we do not host any files. I think XsupremeX posted a link somewhere in this forum. Look around.

Good luck,
