the main difference is that instead of looping over a 16x30array of 10-15 byte structs defining the state of a board square, it's looping over a map<,>
I literally slapped my forehead with my right hand and held it there for a couple of seconds, as if shielding myself from the idiocy emanated by the image of your statement on my computer screen.

Go suck a dick, faggot, you are not born for programming.

Wait, before you go, C++ has a lot of data structures, why did you choose a map specifically, why not an std::priority_queue? Or an std::stack of std::deques of std::priority_queues? If you don't give a fuck, why not go full retard, you should use every single of them, it's C++ motherfucker!

Now go, those dicks aren't going to suck themselves.
