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 reinventing the steam engine or colouring in a paint-by-numbers picture; it will keep you busy and you would doubtless learn a lot about programming in the process, but it won't be anything new. but if the former, you could consider starting to build a new kind of engine that works using a truly new method, such as the one i have described in earlier postings to this list, or (much easier) writing a few lines of interface code to get NAO to play Go. either way, i venture to suggest that a fine detail like a board representation is just about the last thing you should worry about, unless you plan to build your engine by a process of trial and error without first thinking through how it's going to work. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
