Amazons….
And of course, my Amazons work continues. It can now compute the score of a game, once certain conditions are met. It can’t handle anything fancy, but for a good majority of endgames it should have no trouble. It can’t handle defective rooms, and it doesn’t fare will with multiple queens in a room (yet). However, it is smart enough to just say it doesn’t know what the score is in these situations. So far, it seems correct when it does come up with a score. More testing should confirm that… I’m not sure what to work on next. I have a million things to add, but I’m not decided on the order in which to do them. I just hope that once the program is half-decent I can get enough people using it so that I can find people to play games against!
http://eliasonscountrycotta… Our main conclusions about the state are that a minimal state, limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on, is justified; that any more extensive state will violate persons’ rights not to be forced to do certain things, and is unjustified; and that the minimal state is inspiring as well as right.
