Dear Graham,

 

In fact, building the dawg is not the real problem. There’s many code out
there to do his task (some of them you may know well since it’s hosted in
wgp site :-)). The problem is that I’m not sure how to build other files
(like “superleaves” or “syn2” or more generally those under the directory
“data/strategy/” ) which I suppose are needed in order to have Quackle play
at its maximum level.

 

I’ve already downloaded the tarfile and indeed there are some perl scripts
(in directory “new_language_generation” ) which I guess are intended to do
that. Any help on how to use them properly would be very appreciated.

 

Regarding the digraph tiles, if Quackle has been set up in Welsh or even
Tuvan I dare to say that encoding the following tiles: “RR”, “LL”, “CH”
(which are considered just ONE single tile in Spanish Scrabble) won’t be a
problem. My question here is whether those digraphs have UTF or unicode
codification or not (apologies if this is just naive question. Reading some
stuff about encoding is definitively on my to-do list..). Other exclusive
Spanish tiles like “ñ” do have a proper codification, but I’m not sure how
to represent the above mentioned digraphs.

 

Kind regards!

 

Enric Hernández

The source code is hosted at www.quackle.org and it appears to have
everything you
would need to add new languages and build your own dawgs.

I just now fetched the tarfile and can see files in it with obvious names
like
"makedawg.cpp" and makeminidawg/ and new_language_generation/
