[COPY] --- T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A Backgammon implementation - to lay and analys games and matches [T] It is currently a work-in-progress. So far it is able to play both [T] independent games and tournament matches, evaluate and roll out [T] positions, tune its own evaluation functions using either TD or [T] supervised training, maintain databases of positions for training [T] and other purposes, and more. [T] [T] It is driven by a command-line interface, and displays an ASCII [T] rendition of a board on text-only terminals, but also allows the [T] user to play games and manipulate positions with a GTK+ board window [T] where available. It is extensible on platforms which support Guile. [T] [T] It currently plays at about the level of a championship flight [T] tournament player (depending on its parameters and its luck in recent [T] games, it rates at around 2000 on FIBS, the First Internet Backgammon [T] Server -- at its best, it is in the top 5 of over 6000 rated players [T] there) and is gradually improving; it should be somewhat stronger than [T] this when released. Since almost all of the CPU time required during [T] supervised training is spent performing rollouts, and rollouts can [T] easily be performed in parallel, it is hoped that users will be able [T] to pool rollout results and collectively train it to a level stronger [T] than any individual could obtain.
