That would only apply when you only have one legal move in the present. When you look ahead and only see one valid move, that wouldn't be a reason to stop the evaluation.
The pieces affected by the move would be limited to the pieces a queen/knight's move away from the starting or final squares, including moves "through" pieces.
In on step of the game tree search, the function would receive X as some value, and then pass along X as a new value. I think the new value of X should be a function of the current X combined with the number of legal moves.
I'm not an expert programmer so this may be why, but I've come to notice that whenever I create complex code (like a Chess game I recently made), I am able to write the correct code to get the program working, although I find that later on- or even a few seconds after!- I often have to pause, and...
@Geobits A few other people from PPCG (@hosch250, @PhiNotPi, @Volatility) and I were collaborating on hangman and checkers programs in ASCII. Now we're doing chess (I guess).
Ahaha nah - given a length L and a collection of strings S, try to find the string of length L appearing in each string in S
That's easy, but then there's hardmode: the string you want might appear with any number of mismatches and you want the best string (e.g. the target string is ABCDE, but it's hidden in string1 as ABCDD, and in string2 as EBCDE)
Translation: Some -> I'll lay off from question writing for a bit so everyone else can catch up to the enormous amount of rep I currently have thanks to that question
for answer 1 to 5, the denominator in the score would be strictly greater than 30 and less than or equal to 31. so the maximum size should be 30 to ensure a less than 1 score
if you're good you can skip the first set... there's a couple of frames or so, where you can go through the wall at the same time as the second pacman without being hit
I can beat the entire game from the start within three hours, which is a great achievement, considering many people find the intermissions so difficult.
@Optimizer I actually had that CJam code in my i^n answer at some point, but deleted it, because there's no way to handle the integer inputs in that few characters in CJam
Symbolic computation. It doesn't actually use a floating-point value for pi. Pi is just some "object" and the Sin and Cos function return exact results for known arguments involving Pi.
Let's say you have a list of words and you want to be able to use letter cards to spell each word. For example, to spell cat, you would use three cards labelled C, A, T.
Assuming each card is double-sided, submit a program to define a minimum number of cards that can be used to spell the entire ...
@Optimizer I think I read a post on MSE once that bounties are completely up to whoever offered them. It's their rep, so they can do whatever the hell they want (including completely ignoring whatever criterion they put on the bounty), because it's their own rep they're giving away.
@hwnd what do you mean? you just copy the last match and fail set and add your regex to one of the two (your choice)
I think typically the regex is shoved in the group that it fails itself on (e.g. if it matches itself, it's usually put in the fail set). Not a rule, but that's what's been happening
@MartinBüttner so is it okay for someone to vote for close to such question where the bounty was given to a random person (as that someone thinks, not the bounty chooser)
saying that since you have not given the bounty to the right answer (read - answer other than mine), I am voting to close as unclear what you are asking
