Actually, I'm working on a data compression scheme that will allow you to build a 19x19 full game look-up table and store it on an SD card. I have already figured out how to store the data so it fits but I want to keep it secret for now. It turns out that you have to build the complete database first before you can compress it so I have to use a universal turning machine since it has an infinite tape. - Don > On 1/24/07, Thomas Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Turing Machines have an infinite tape -- I'm glad you set us straight on > > that. > > > > -Tom > > > > On 1/24/07, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > On Wed, 2007-01-24 at 21:11 +0100, alain Baeckeroot wrote: > > > > With 10^170 legal position for 19x19 what would be the size of this > > > > table ? > > > > I m afraid we cannot build it with all the matter in visible > > > > universe. > > > > > > I think the computer science greats should have consulted you before > > > writing their textbooks - I just looked at this crazy thing called a > > > "turing machine" in one of my textbooks. > > > > > > A universal turing machine supposedly has an infinite tape attached to > > > it.
