Re: [computer-go] Anchor Player
Increasing komi is much easier than placing stores, but a much weaker representation of how go games are actually played in the real world. cheers stuart On 12/15/06, Hideki Kato [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Increasing KOMI is much easier than placing stones, right? Jacques Basaldúa‚³‚ñ [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I would like to take part in the 19x19 competition. I also prefer kyu rating to Elo, but I got the impression that you were relating kyu rating with handicap games (that is usually done by human players). I think handicap is a bad idea for computers. Handicap requires human intelligence to understand how the playing style must be changed. It completely ruins fuseki databases and may also make josekis that are good under equal play too slow. Of course, if you pretend to ruin fuseki database programs, its a good idea. But I think dan/pro level fuseki is not only legitimate, but probably the best possible fuseki and it can be played in ultrablitz which preserves computing time for later moves. The only drawback is 10 Mb of disk space. Any silly welcome video is heavier than that. I suggest, if handicap is implemented, it should be optional.

Re: [computer-go] Unsigned random numbers in Java
Peter Drake wrote: I tried creating a random number generator java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random() and then asking it for a random int rand.nextInt() which I would then take modulo the board size to choose a random point. Note that rand.nextInt(int n) might be what you want: Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence.. This also takes into account that simply taking the modulus does usually _not_ result in a uniformly distribution, since usually MAX_INT is no multiple of n. greets eph ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/

Not only are they not needed, they are a ***VERY BAD IDEA***. If KGS moves (as it did a few months ago) then they will make your client break. They are ***ONLY*** needed if you have to use a port forwarder or other trick to get to KGS. You know if you need them. If not, please, leave them out.

Ah. Orego will have the ponder feature soon. I am busy to include pondering for FirstGo. Should be ready within a few days. Edward.
