Title: Android App by David Wu Post by omar on Aug 7th, 2012, 6:59pm I've been taking a break from Arimaa during the summer. I just dropped in to announce that David Wu has released an Arimaa app for the Android. Just search the market place for 'arimaa'. The engine used in the app is the one which won the 2011 computer championship. I want to congratulate and thank David for building this awesome app. It used to be that we expected new players coming into the gameroom to be at a novice playing level, but now with the Android and iPhone apps available as well as two books about Arimaa out we may encounter new players that are already at advanced levels. It's exciting to see Arimaa growing. I'll be back in September. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by Fritzlein on Aug 7th, 2012, 8:26pm Fantastic news about the Android app! I predict a new class of players who invest a buck to see what Arimaa is about and get hooked simply from playing sharp repeatedly. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by qswanger on Aug 7th, 2012, 10:59pm Yeah, awesome news. I have an Android and I was hoping something like this would come along soon. I seem to have more time for games at odd moments when I have my phone on me rather than at or lugging around my laptop. I haven't played a whole lot against any of the bots and with one of the strongest now built into the app, I'm hoping it will help to improve my game. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by Fritzlein on Aug 8th, 2012, 11:48am It occurs to me what a benefit to Arimaa theory will come from a class of players that learn to beat Sharp2011 first. My generation of players cut its teeth on Bomb2005, and the techniques for beating Bomb2005 probably have an undue influence on my style of play to this very day. Bomb2005 is too passive, overvalues the camel, and deals badly with an advanced flank horse. It will be a great antidote to have a generation of players who learn to deal with sharp's superior aggression, and discover that a key component is counter-attack against sharp's too-thin goal defense. I wonder whether the sharp beaters might create a class of counter-punching players. That is to say, not "home" players who want to take a good hostage/frame in order to get the strongest free piece, not "away" players who want to quickly share control of an opposing trap so they can advance rabbits with no fear, but rather second-strike players who wait for sharp to commit to the attack on one wing and then play all-out for attack on the opposite wing. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by qswanger on Aug 8th, 2012, 1:53pm So, I've had a couple hours of play with this app under my belt now. Its the best $1 I've ever spent! I don't know if this is necessarily the best place for feedback, but here goes, in case David reads this ... I have just a few minor suggestions for additions to the otherwise very good rules tutorial: 1) In adition to introducing the 6-piece hierarchy, I think it would be a good idea to say exactly how many of each you get (the distribution of the Arimaa army is second nature to many, but it may not be to a beginner.): 1-1-2-2-2-8. 2) It's not explicitly stated, but in the section saying that up to 4-steps are allowed per move, it would be a good idea to mention that pushes and pulls comprise 2 steps each. 3) Maybe mention that captures are resolved at the end of the complete 2-step push or pull sequence. 4) Maybe clarify that a rabbit reaching the other side of the board (i.e., a goal) is likewise only resolved at the end of the completed move. I really like being able to save and replay games as well as being able to deviate and branch off at any given move in order to test new lines of play and to recover and learn from mistakes. It's a huge learning tool! However, I think I detected some minor auto-naming bugs where the current game is actually saved under an earlier "gamename_#" version. Also, and this is biggie, when I load a game, it does not automatically go to the very last move where I can simply pick-up where I or the AI left off, but it takes me all the way to before the setup (empty board), forcing me to play through all of the moves via the ">>" button. That's annoying. Also, the "Show Moves" game record from the main Android menu button (not the on-screen app menu) will probably be useful for some people (not me, yet) who may wish to cut-and-paste the moves for possible, later import into another tool. Overall this is a very cool app that I think every Arimaa enthusist and newcommer alike should purchase. My work productivity has just plummeted. ;D |

Awesome. That's exactly why I wrote Beginning Arimaa, so to hear you say it makes me very happy. The super thing about the Arimaa community is that as each of us contributes as he is able, it makes the game more attractive to everyone else. The Android app just pushes back the boundaries yet further and makes the Arimaa community yet larger. I've said it in another thread, and I'll say it again here: an obvious next step is a book of goal-in-two puzzles. Lack of endgame material was the biggest hole in my book, and chessandgo's book only partially addressed it. It is just unreasonable at this stage of maturity in the Arimaa community to have only 65 published puzzle positions. Not only is the demand for a puzzle book clear, but the task is not too daunting for any developer willing to hack up an interface between a decent engine and the on-line game database. The puzzles can be identified, ranked, and culled to a reasonable-size pool automatically. (Actually, Omar found a huge pool of "candidate puzzles" years ago. Most were boring and going through them by hand to find good ones was too tedious, but I believe effective winnowing could also be done algorithmically.) Indeed, even the bulk of the typesetting could be done automatically once the positions were chosen. (I'm old enough to want a paper format, but not such as Luddite as to realize that an electronic compilation of puzzles would have advantages, and perhaps be less daunting to a developer.) The greatest psychological obstacle to making a puzzle book is being too ambitious and thinking that each puzzle needs explanatory text, or that the puzzles must be thematically grouped, etc., but those are all optional extras. If any developer is even remotely interested in this project, please start a thread for it. I'm sure I'm not the only non-developer who would chip in with ideas and assistance in making it a reality. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by lightvector on Aug 9th, 2012, 11:31pm Hi everyone. Thanks for the support and feedback, and special thanks to Omar for inventing this excellent game and for helping me test the app and set things up. Sharp is quite a bit weaker on a typical phone, both because of the weaker processor and because I shrunk the size of the hashtable/transposition table down to just a few MB so as not to hog a lot of memory. These factors weaken it to the point where I can almost always beat it on my phone without any trouble if I'm careful even though it usually crushes me on a good PC. But it's still not a bad opponent, and probably more than enough to provide a decent challenge for beginners. (It was also fun to figure out how to make sharp play *weaker* for the easier difficulty levels, since P1 is still way too strong for a beginner just starting out). qswanger: Good suggestions, thanks. I will see what I can do about them in a little while, when I get around to updating the app. You're right that it is a little annoying to have to scroll all the way to the end of a loaded game manually. At the moment though, one thing that makes it slightly less annoying (but unfortunately is highly non-obvious) is that you can press and hold the "<<" and ">>" buttons to scroll much more rapidly. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by rbarreira on Aug 11th, 2012, 6:44am Good to see there's finally an Android App. I'm curious how much slower you observed Sharp to get on phone/tablet CPUs? I have never tried programming for those platforms. Does the bot use multiple cores? |

It will be difficult to address this issue any other way other than partially while you are both still novices when it comes to the final stage of the game. Knowing how to score a goal in 2 is useful when the opportunity arises, but knowing how to make that it arise is moreso. |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by qswanger on Aug 30th, 2012, 1:26pm Is anybody else using this app? I am very pleased with it and have been playing it obsessively since it came out. I know that the bot's strength is not suppossed to be as good as its non-mobile counterpart, but at my level of play I am still getting a tremendous challange from it. I've only been playing on Level 10 as I want the best competition possible. Even at that level the amount of time the bot uses is only about a few seconds per move, which is more that reasonable. I have played dozens of games so far, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I've made it all the way through a compete game without taking back at least one or two moves. It's a GREAT learning tool and a great way to experiment, especially with different setups. I look forward to the next update. Having a custom position setup feature (for endgame study, ala The Endless Endgame Competition here) would be nice as would an online head-to-head play feature like the popular scrabble clone app WordsWithFriends. ArimaaWithFriends anyone? Just $1 and this baby can be all yours ... what a steal! Thank you David!!! |

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by FireBorn on Sep 29th, 2012, 12:50am Awesome app, very well made. That's a very strong bot. I haven't beat level 10 yet, but I just beat 8 and 9. You're right Fritz, Sharp's goal defense seems to be lacking. Here's my level 8 game, where I had a great start, blundered on 29s, then blundered again on 32s, then almost got goaled on. Then I blundered my horse on 45s, but that allowed me to start my goal attack, which eventually won it for me.

Title: Re: Android App by David Wu Post by FireBorn on Sep 29th, 2012, 4:38pm Okay, I beat level 10 now. I didn't blunder much this time :). It features a massive trade down on move 53s onward. Seven pieces get captured in rapid succession.

Some notes: 28g-29g: Looks like Sharp was testing if I knew the 3-move repeat rule :) 34g: Sharp shifts the camel blockade dangerously 34s: I counter with a partial elephant blockade... 36s: ...which leads to a cat capture. 37g: if Sharp would have swarmed my C6 trap with his camel and minor pieces here, he could have stood a better chance, I think. 50s!: leaving the camel to threaten both camel and horse 52g?: Sharp decides not to trade his horse for my camel with an eye to save his camel next turn. Instead, this? 53s: the trades start. I think I came out on top because of 52g 59g: odd move...leads to Sharp's demise Feel free to provide analysis. This is a fun bot :) |

But I am not sure with comment ... was the goal in 2 the only nonlosing move? My bot seems to be too slow to finish it in reasonable time. So far after 10 hours it is in depth 4(+2) halfturns with goal race still open. Can some stronger bot analyze it? (With AEI 35g Dd6n Dd7e Re2w 35s cg6n 36g Df2w 36s rc2w Rc1n dd1w 37g dc1e Rc2s rb2e cg7s does the trick to disallow the one move by double repetition rule ... with one more repetition it will disallow by triple repetition rule ...) |
