________________________________ From: Magnus Javerberg <[email protected]> One way around this would be to not do the scoring on the phone, but on a server. This way you can use a DLL, and if the image processing is done in the phone the data traffic should be very low. Maybe not an optimal solution, but IMHO clearly acceptable and much better then spending several hundred hours to implement it yourself. /Magnus Jäverberg That seems like a smart idea - the traffic would be a few hundred bytes for the board description. I'd add one thing: in cases where there is some question, why not ask the player to mark dead groups? Back to Dyer's research into scoring games "where humans typically finish them" - did that include wins by resignation? In such a case, this phone app would presumably not be invoked; the human players have already decided the result. I have sometimes seen people on KGS resign after a large capture - but closer analysis suggested that they still had a winning margin. This would baffle any attempt to "score" the game, but it's human psychology; people sometimes make mistakes.
