I can easily say that a continuous 1Mb/s 24x7x365 of download wouldn't really be an issue at all. Obviously there would be peaks, but we're talking about having no issues with 30Gb/day. That's 100 co
Sounds fine with me. Maybe we'll be able to put it on alpha.gnu.org or ftp.gnu.org as well. I'll play on, and make the extended OS DB work. The makebearoff program may have to be optimised as it requ
A possible plan could be to use POSIX off_t type and fseeko(), check that it still gives the same results as now, possibly after a few fixes, then try a #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64, check that it gi
Likely you will need to put it all in your gnubg folder and run the program from there. The gnubg .bat file might help you with the setup if you need to run it from another location, but I haven't ch
hi again, well, in terms of input and output, what i want is to put in the positions of the two players and get out the winning probability for the player on roll. a typical line of the ascii file i'
It is not too clear what you are trying to achieve. Could you try to explain it in terms of input and output. What would a typical line of the text file ideally look like. Christian.
hi, ok guys i downloaded Version 0.90-mingw (build Feb 4 2009) and am able to run makebearoff from the command prompt of windows now. but i do not understand how bearoffdump works. it has (or takes)
Pretty much what Ian said, just adding that there is a bearoffdump utility. I believe it is included with windows too. bearoffdump and makebearoff should be run through the windows command prompt, av
* Jim Segrave VMWare runs XP fine here. I'm using it to play on GG with my laptop. :) http://www.vmware.com should probably answer most other questions. Morten! -- "...a liquid which was almost, but
False alarm. :-( I'm sorry. Cygwin's md5sum operates in text mode for default. One needs to specify -b for binary mode, and then I do get the same checksums. Sorry to have caused confusion. Regards,
It's hard to determine from IP numbers/DNS addresses as people with dialup or DSL access may have dynamic IP addresses. Do you know how many times gnubg-xx.exe is downloaded? Yes, perhaps it's more t
If it makes thing easier to guess: I have about 700 hits at my page each week, usually from about 500 different computers. I guess Jørns figure is quite good, but I would acctually guess it's close
Hi all, I've checked-in an initial implementation of large one-sided bearoff databases. The file sizes are twice as large as I've reported earlier, since I store 32 short ints for bearing off all che
This is what I get from that build: * On disk 1-sided bearoffdatabase evaluator: - generated by GNU Backgammon - up to 15 chequers on 10 points (3268760 positions) per player - database includes gam
Hi Michael, Gnubg can have two databases of each type. One is loaded into memory; the other is held on disk and only accessed when required. This allows gnubg to have a small database in memory, say
While I don't know anything about this database, it sounds very interesting. I do have some interest in offering gnubg-assisted game analysis as a web-based service. If a 50GB database helps, then th
An exact bearoff analysing tool. -- - Have you ever lost a position that was "impossible" to lose? - Do you always feel unlucky in the bearoff? - Have you ever told your hard luck story: "It was a No
Hi all, I've added support for Hugh Sconyer's full 15x15 bearoffdatabase in gnubg. There are still a few glitches, so I consider this feature experimental. One of them is that you need to issue the
