Johnson wrote the control part of the program, Schaeffer put in the chess knowledge. Prodigy was written in C to ran on a VAX or Honeywell 6600. The code size was 100Kb, data size 10Kb, and it searched 50 Nodes per second. Prodigy entered the ACM 1981 finishing last, and never played again. In 1982 Schaeffer started his new program called Phoenix, which rose from the ashes of Prodigy.
