hi.
I have put a lot of though in that Hex bot stuff. I realize now how eager i am
to try my ideas with an Hex bot. It's been a long time since i first realize
how much more elegant it would be to try those ideas for the Hex game anyway.
Your site seems a great source of interest for that game. When i tried to find
out a community for Hex-computer, i stumbled upon it. But what really lacks (or
i wasn't able to find anyway) is a strong community like there is for go.
A CGOS equivalent.
A GTP equivalent.
A Gogui equivalent.
A Kgs equivalent.
That made it hard for me to settle for putting on the hex bot a lot of work.
But as i said, it seems so much more reasonable to me, to first try my ideas
with Hex, rather than with go. It seems that Montecarlo is as sound for Hex as
it is for go. Given that some of the good-playing programs are montecarlo ones;
Although it seems the strongest one is not.
So what i will do, is to make up a prototype, that suit my goals : assembly 64
bits montecarlo prototype, with all the tricks i want to try in it. I then will
provide a Java gui, for Playing against One instance of the bot when there is
an Hardware online willing to support it. I will use a protocol that seems
promising, or make up a new one from scratch, if nothing hits me as being
standard. It would be logical to use the same protocol that the Computer Games
Olympiad uses. But i wasn't able to figure out where to find it.
So if all goes well, i should have a prototype available for trying punctually
through a java Applet by the end of January 2009. If this prototype shows
promises, then i might try to port it to a more flexible langage (like Java).
The name of the prototype will be Stohex.
