It's important that the registry key(s) have the right values. Especially [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GNUBackgammon\shell\open\command] needs to be paid special attention to as it contains the command that st
Your make is starting parallel processes. That's not wrong, but in this case it can have the effect you've seen. Something like this should fix it: @rm -f temp.bd makebearoff -o -s 7999999 > temp.bd
Hi, There is a severe problem with makebearoff under Windows that probably causes wrong creations of the bearoffdatabase. When started it returns after about a second (depending on the computer spee
I think we rather should make a sgf laucher program. A program that looks at the sgf file and finds out whenever this is a Go file or Backgammon file or whatever file. Then the program can launch th
The file associations do work for me... but the bearoffdatabase and weights are in the Installed Dir (C:\Program Files\gnubg here). So GNU Backgammon starts generating a bearoff DB and can't find t
Yeah, it seems that I got it working (onechequer.c/.o was missing, too). Though, there are still circular dependencies with my Makefile. Can they be avoided? During the last try br1.c had about the s
Yes, I store the distribution for taking one or more chequers off which can be used for gammon probabilities. There is a place for saving here as well - I guess in most of those positions the probab
Quoting Øystein O Johansen <address@hidden>: Yes, but of course I might not answer them all. I'm happy to help the gnu effort, particularly since I don't want you to be beaten badly by Snowie 4. How
Hi Jeurgen, The techniques for creating a strong backgammon program are well known, and any strong bot is going to make the same move as another strong bot, simply because it is the correct move.

Hi ! GNU Backgammon Clones It's a very "sensitive theme" and a difficult problem: cloning. Is it possible to track down, to prove that a certain program is a clone of GNU Backgammon ? Since about 20
Hi, I tried to create a large two-sided bearoffdatabase with: $ makebearoff -t 6x15 -f gnubg_ts.bd The program told me that the "total number of positions" is -1350385600, which seemed dubious to me
I have generated a new source tar ball that is available at: http://files.gnubg.org/media/sources/gnubg-release-1.06.002-sources.tar.gz A MS Windows installer can be found here at: http://files.gnubg
I must be half asleep. It would have consulted the bearoffdatabase and realized the equities either way guarantee the win so it chose whatever it saw as the first candidate. I guess the moves could

What is going on is that both plays one off or 2 off still guarantee victory. The bot sees that it has a choice between 2 moves which guarantees a win. It happens to be that at the time of the analys
Howdy All, I will be building the next release of GNUbg (1.03.000) next Sunday evening. So any changes that one may have should be put in as soon as possible so testing can occur. I will be completin
I think there is something wrong (but harmless with the compilers we've used) in these functions from positionid.c. In PositionBearoff() for instance : for( j = nPoints - 1, i = 0; i < nPoints; i++ )
