All releases of G2F3


Release Notes: Mark Steere's abstract strategy game Tanbo has been added to the examples. Some of the board games can now be compiled for different board sizes. Three bugs have been fixed: one that caused weak computer moves in "Breakthgrough" and two memory related bugs. Several improvements and additions to the core code were made. This release requires a recent development snapshot of SmartEiffel-2.2.


Release Notes: The computer opponents in the Breakthrough game play much more strongly. The implementation of heuristic move ordering (history table) has been cleaned up with the result of some API simplifications. General code cleanups, minor bugfixes, and some adaptions to SmartEiffel-2.2-beta have taken place.


Release Notes: The Node Explorer now works again. This is a useful tool with a GTK interface that allows the developer to easily test the code for move generation, move application, and node evaluation. Minor bugfixes, code cleanups, and documentation updates were made.


Release Notes: GTK-2 is now supported as the GUI toolkit. FLTK is still supported, but the GTK GUIs look much better. Better animation of movement and various fixes and improvements have been made. The documentation was updated and the structure of the source directory was reorganized. SmartEiffel-2.1 should now be used to compile the sample games.


Release Notes: The game tree search algorithms can now exploit History Heuristics (improved move ordering) as described by Jonathan Schaeffer. The evaluation function for the Breakthrough game has been refined (the computer is gradually playing intelligently). There have been documentation updates.


Release Notes: SmartEiffel-2.1beta1 or higher is now required. The fltk GUI code is now directly written in C++. A number of memory and speed enhancements were made. A new strategy game called Breakthrough was added. Documentation updates were made.


Release Notes: This release adds a progress indicator for the computer's "think" process and a button to show the last move again.


Release Notes: A minor bug in the computer opponent that could lead to silly moves was fixed.


Release Notes: The Outwit game was added, and the Hnefatal game was improved (the computer opponent plays much better now). Color support was added for the FLTK interfaces. Speed improvements were made to the computer opponents, and various code cleanups were made.


Release Notes: Some bugs have been fixed, and new features were added. Support for computer vs. computer games has been improved.
