Re: [computer-go] Bitmap Go revisited and mockup implementation

2009-08-25 Thread Antoine de Maricourt
Hi René, David, Confession: I have not tested 19x19. As you have noted, and others before you over the years, a 19x19 board does not fit in one but three 128-bit registers and there would be a rather big penalty as a result, perhaps (likely?) wiping out all of the benefits of bitmaps.

Please do. I will put it on a web page. But I need some time. My job keeps me very busy right now. But I'm not sure I will post the statistical analysis (it was almost ten hand writen pages, and I'm not sure I still have them). Have You performed an empirical test for collisions? No,

Re: [computer-go] GTK client OSX and Windows

If you didn't start writing your client, and if you use C++, you might consider using wxwidgets. It uses GTK under X11, and native UI system under Mac or Windows. My understand is that there is a Mac port that doesn't need X11. I'm hoping to do a viewing client in GTK and I would just need

If this randint routine is critical, you can save some calls to rand() when you know that n is always below some value (see my previous post about bitmap go). For instance if n 128 (probably true for 9x9 go), you could try: while (true) { r = rand(); if ((r v) n) return (r v); r = 7;
