Re: The status of gnubg?

[Aaron Tikuisis]

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I'll send along bugs and ideas. If I understand right, if I make small changes (like adding comments), I should just use cvs rdiff and send the patch file?

By the way, is there any documentation on the neural net training? I found dead links online to a website of Joseph Heled, which I wish was still active!

Best regards, Aaron

I must admit there isn't much happening at the moment. But if you do find bugs or have ideas, feel free to post then here at the mailing list or use the bugtracker at savannah. Of course there's no guarantee that the ideas will be implemented or the bugs will be fixed.  If you have a pull request ^h^h^h^h patch , it is more likely that it will be committed back into the tree.

We really need more enthusiasm!

Hi,

I'm very interested in backgammon, and have a background in math and computer science. I'm keen to understand gnubg better. Is anyone still working on the project?

I'd even be happy to contribute, even if only in a small way. For example, I'm reading through the code and perhaps as I understand things I could add comments (e.g., I'd like to figure out what the inputs I_BACKBONE and I_TIMING are). I also have noticed some bugs and some ideas for improvements. I haven't written these down but I can if there's a chance they'll be fixed. (Potentially I could contribute in bigger ways, but I'd like to get to understand it better and know whether people are working on gnubg first.)

Best regards,

Aaron
