I have made some milestone progress on my Thud application (for windows only)
that I think is a vast improvement over the existing thudgame application available!
While considerably only in its alpha-stages, my app thus far contains decently polished features such as:
-Built in gameplay/*rulechecking* for original thud, koom valley, AND klash!
-Has computer troll AND dwarf opponents for original and klash
-**Backwards compatible** with the existing thud program notation files (can open existing .thud format files and save to old app as well)
-Includes the familiar iconset from existing thud program!

-Plays much more fluidly with a MUCH more simple interface
EVERY rule from these games in built in and enforced, which means there will never need
be another game where illegal play gets overlooked and allowed so long as ONE
of the two players uses this application.
I'd love to get your guys input--its not a complete project, but it is AS entirely functional
as the existing app, with a few extra features here and there.

Sounds uber

Re: New thud application with computer opponents
Heya
Looks cool. Althouhg I have to sax, the troll KI is not really tooo bright. There is no check if trolls can be caught, so they always walk straight into the clump of dwarfs. But all in all a great start

Re: New thud application with computer opponents
I realize months and months later that I may not have properly announced my latest implementation of Thud--that is, the one that runs on any system that has Python3.
***NOTE****--this is NOT the same implementation as my original posting...that was .net, this is the complete, robust python version addressing (and fixing!) all the problems from my original app.
I've been seeing that there were some new revivals of interest in continuing to make new thud applications and engines so I wanted to put this back out there, in case its useful in your development.
Access to my python source is caffeinecrash.com/thud/thud-python3.zip
At the time I deemed this project inactive ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/thud/ ), it had the following features:
- WORKING AI for both trolls and dwarfs for CLASSIC thud.
- full game support for playing/importing/saving classic thud games, koom valley thud, and KLASH
- enforced every single rule ever made for each variant
- GUI, including 2 iconsets (including the one popularized through the existing thudboard app).
- full game playback for reviewing other's games as well as the current game--identifies all illegal plays
Have at it!
Re: New thud application with computer opponents
Is the game still available?
All I get from the sourcefourge page is "This project has no files."
Re: New thud application with computer opponents
Ive never really been a fan of how the downloading thing works--but it is still available on sourceforge, click on the Browse Code-> SVN link.
Or, http://thud.svn.sourceforge.net/
Re: New thud application with computer opponents
Thanx for making the files available!
One small question though... do I need Python 3.0, or does it also work with later versions 3.1 and 3.2?
