Title: bot_Maximus Post by Max on Dec 25th, 2013, 3:39pm Hi, after climbing the advanced bot ladder on my own I am needing a new challenge. So I am developing a bot from scratch. I am looking forward to how high it can climb the bot ladder. Its name will be bot_Maximus, a combination from my name "Max" and the "minimax" search it will use. Maximus is also a latin word which means "the biggest". The bot will be written in JAVA and have the following features: - generating all possible next moves and playing a "human" one of them (no unneccessary steps (Ra1eew -> Ra1e); not changing the played animal if possible (Ra1e Df2n Rb1e -> Ra1ee Df2n);...) - special last moves (animal suicides; goaling the opposite rabbit;...) - setting up the animals (for both colours) and playing the first move (as gold): very fast, because precalculated bot_Maximus will be playable for humans when there is a bugfree version. At first I wanted to call it bot_tle becaus I thought it will never play better than an empty bottle. We will see if that name would have fit better. |

Say, if you are really looking for a challenge, I notice that you haven't yet registered for the World Championship. ;) Quote:
I look forward to watching bot_Maximus progress. Thanks for keeping us posted. Quote:
If I ever make an Arimaa engine, it will probably be bot_ched. :D |

If I ever did one it'd be more like bot_ulism. ;D |

Title: Re: bot_Maximus Post by Max on Jan 6th, 2014, 6:18pm Now Maximus has made its first step on the bot ladder. :P I have to work much on this bot so that it can win against the next bot on the ladder too. |

Title: Re: bot_Maximus Post by Max on Apr 28th, 2014, 2:21pm After successfully helping mankind defending the Arimaa Challenge 2014 as a human defender I now have time to improve bot_Maximus. One thing I did: Maximus now uses bitboards. That makes the move generation much faster. |

Title: Re: bot_Maximus Post by Max on Aug 2nd, 2014, 11:40am bot_Maximus is quitting playing arimma with a rating of 1325 points. It was not fun for him to loose so many times and not reaching a higher rating. But luckily he has a younger sister who is more intelligent than him. She will start playing arimaa soon and hopefully advance much faster than her older brother did. So look forward to bot_Maxy :-* |
