A.I. thud?

Bronze Member

Obvioudly a computer thud opponent will probs be a long way down the "LIST" Very Happy for development, so iwas wondering how one goes about developing something like this. Is it particularly complex? Is certain software needed? Could a rookie such as myself do it with direction?
Any thoughts appreciated...

Some time ago I had a go at making one with "Zillions of Games", a programmable A.I. for board games.
The problem with that was, the rudimentary command set was designed for games that either checkmate, or loose because you are out of pieces.
I could not find a way of telling it the delicacy of Thud's counting, and rematching. So eventually I ended up with a reasonable Troll opponent, but a nearly suicidal dwarf one, since the A.I. only knew that "as long as I have a single dwarf remaining, I'm still winning" Laughing .

hmm... well I prefer to play as dwarves anyway! Was it complicated to do? How can someone get this program?
