The document provides basic control flow charts for the CT800 software, detailing the structure and purpose of various modules including the Chess Application Layer, HMI Layer, Library Layer, and Driver Layer. It highlights the single-threaded nature of the software and the interaction between the timer interrupt and keypad input. Additionally, it outlines the functions of each module and their respective prefixes.

Basic flow charts for the CT800

The following pages contain some basic control flow charts in a simplified version, just for
getting some orientation:

- What each source text file contains


- How the overall control flow works
- How a response move is calculated (main flow in bold lines)

Time keeping, hash tables, menu logic and HMI are not shown in this overview. The menu
logic is simple enough anyway because the tree structure of the menu is directly reflected
in the call tree of the menu logic.

Note that this software is single-threaded; the only thing in parallel is the timer interrupt on
the target platform, which also handles the keypad input. Usually, this does not interfere
with the regular control flow, with one notable exception:

If the computer is calculating and the "GO!"-key is pressed, the keypad evaluation routine
will set up the "time is up" flag for the ongoing computation, simulating a time-over
condition.
