Re: [Computer-go] Frisbee Go Simulation

To keep changes to the protocol and number of parameters low, wouldn't it be a possibility to consider multiple 'throws' of a frisbee?   So if the engine decides to play a move you have the described arrangement of hitting adjactent fields with probability eps. If this results in a move outside

Hi Remi, I plan to let it play forever. That's awesome! Strong program is nice benchmark and motivation for others (of cource including me). I noticed the game gets blocked for a long time when Aya resigns. Yes, when Aya783a_50 resigns, it waits about 3 minutes in 9x9. And it waits 2sec

Normalizing the probabilities and re-throwing the frisbee until it lands in a valid move are equivalent, of course. On Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 5:01 AM, David Peters wrote: > To keep changes to the protocol and number of parameters low, wouldn't it > be a possibility to consider

I was thinking about the ko rule for frisbee ko, and realised it leads to problems. 1. Black takes a ko, White tries to make a ko threat, but accidentally retakes the ko. What should happen? 2. Black takes a ko. White tries to make a ko threat, but fails to make a valid move. Black tries

Yesterday I modified Many Faces to play Frisbee go an played a few games with some other people at the Beijing Computer go tournament.  It's a very strange game.  If there is interest I can make an installer and make it available for free.   Josef Moudrik is also writing a program.   David On
