The initial patterns are, of course, bitmaps of the board. When a nonzero signal finally arrives at cell #5, one of the 1-bits is randomly selected as the move. (If that turns out illegal, the actual move is "pass.")
Without understanding everything about what you're doing (not even close), I'm wondering why you wouldn't pick different "1-bit" when the first one you tried was illegal. And of course pass when they are all illegal. Probably you would also have some other mechanism for generating passes even in the case that they are not all illegal. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
