Checkers for Android 2.4

Post by AartBik » Thu Nov 11, 2010 20:10

I have added a few distance-to-win endgame databases to Checkers for Android (available for free from the Android Market). Since I only pre-computed K-K, p-K, p-p and KK-K, the databases are small enough to reside in any phone's memory and can be queried during the engine search. As is no surprise to the audience of this forum, this gives a nice boost in the engine's endgame play, as shown in a sample screenshot at http://aartbik.blogspot.com/2010/11/imp ... dgame.html.

I also hope to soon release a new version of BikMove (my engine plugin to Martin Fierz' Checkerboard).
