 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

 https://youtu.be/x2N5_EjmmYE Hello to all PC3 owners! I'd like to introduce MMbg PC3 - a complete backgammon program for the Pico Computer 3. Features - match play 1 to 15 points with doubling cube and Crawford rule - uses the neural nets of GNU Backgammon: the "big" engine plays at about gnubg "Expert" level (0-ply) and wins ~47 % of 5-point matches against gnubg "World class" (2-ply), measured over 1236 matches - written completely in MMBasic - no CSUB needed - HDMI graphics (MODE 3) with smooth animation, plus an ASCII board on the serial terminal - keyboard or USB mouse, multi-level undo, auto save and resume - .mat export and GNUbg IDs for analysis in gnubg, optional sound - for tinkerers: gnubg on a PC as opponent over WLAN, overnight test runs Requirements PC3 with firmware PicoMitePC3 V7.00.00 RC2 or later. Installation Unzip the ZIP onto the SD card, then: CHDIR "B:/mmbg" LOAD "mmbg_pc3.bas", C RUN The manual (English and German PDF) is included. The version for the PicoCalc (PiCa) will follow ... Have fun playing and testing! Please report all bugs here. Matthias MMbg_PC3.zip |

That's great, I'm looking forward to the PicoCalc version. Does it also require MMbasic V7? If so, I'll have to update. |
