Re: [Computer-go] Beginner question : how to choose a board representation

Look at: https://github.com/lukaszlew/libego it is a much better start than Fuego. Fuego is a fine program if you are an expert C++ programmer, but is a pretty big package to understand well if you wish to do so quickly. Libego is much easier to understand and is also sometimes very

Re: [Computer-go] Beginner question : how to choose a board representation

Hi, I also did computer chess before go (and checkers before chess). I would start with a straight-forward implementation and learn with it. If you end up finding your board representation limiting, rewrite it. Here's some code from my program: int const N = 19; int const XN = N + 2; int const

Jean-Francois Romang wrote " I want to start something new. :-)" do you mean an engine new to Go programming, or just something new to you? if the latter, you could copy and paste a published algorithm or recode alphago which is fully described by its Nature paper. that would be like

Re: [Computer-go] Beginner question : how to choose a board representation

There isn't a lot of info on this[1], so it will probably be a hard journey for a fast representation. But the things a Go board representation usually focus on are 1. simulating play and then undoing (or telling what happens after a play: liberties left, stone captures) 2. fast pattern hashing

Hello to everyone ; I'm a newcomer in this list and computer go programming. I have a chess programming background, but I want to start something new. :-) I'm currently in the early phases of developing GTP compatible go engine ; now it's time for me to choose a board representation : are there
