Thanks for the responses.
1) I guess for this seki question I was wondering if it was as easy to define
as liveness without seki. The reason I am interested in this is I am curious
about absolutely correct scoring functions and whether they currently cope well
with advanced seki situations or not. I have been looking at some of the cases
listed on the Sensei's Library. A cursory look seems to indicate that they are
very difficult to classify- and any seki classifier might need some knowledge
of killing shapes.
2) You are correct Jason I transposed the symbols for some reason I actually
meant 3^(n^2) but typed it in backwards.
3) Also thanks for the links. I have taken a look at some of the code. I am not
sure I will be writing in Java or D and most likely will be implementing the
system in something like C++. I am worried about Java's speed since it's
interpreted (which still means a x2 slowdown even with the JIT and Hotspot
compilation and selective inlining). D I am just not too familiar with I am
wondering what advantages it brings over C++. I am primarily concerned about
maturity issues. I am not trying to start a discussion on which language is
"better", but those are my initial impressions.
I am primarily interested in creating a very basic go bot at this point and use
it for primarily data gathering. I have been curious about certain aspects of
game searches and how they apply to go and how reinforcement learning works
etc. I figure being a complete beginner at this it will take some time before I
have any meaningful insights into how everything works to contribute anything.
Regards,
Carter.
