Open Dutch Championship Computerdraughts

Ubuntu 64 bits
GNU g++ compiler -O2 is faster than -O3
I also tried the intel compiler. GNU is a little bit faster.
SDE: Eclipse
for Python: Eric
I tried to implement SVN in Eclipse, but not active yet.

I like to promote Python here, specially as a generator for c-code. For GUI development, I think I made the wrong choice: Tk is not as user friendly as I hoped it would be.
I was too early, now the are nice environments available for GUI development

maybe we can make a little lookup-table for all programs and their software and hardware differences.

Like
- processor
- number of cores
- memory
- Openingsbook (y/n)
- EndGameDatabase (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8)
- Programming Language
- etc.

Sorted by Date ofcourse. Because anyone can change their implementation rapidly between tournaments in a year.

It is around somewhere, but I don't know the update policy.

Gerard, perhaps you know, or someone else -- has there been a public announcement of the computer draughts tournament coming up in May? I don't think I have seen it. It is only a few weeks away and I would like to see a description of the rules, etc.

I received this email today (and then remembered I had also received an announcement of the tournament a few months ago):

Dear Programmers,

Cerberus
Dream
KingsRow
Damage
Damy

I am waiting confirmation (and I hope some good news) from Flits, Buggy, Dios, Virtual Draughts.

The exact address is :

Time: 09:30 Installing the hardware, 10:00 Start first round.
Rules will be the same as during the last tournaments :
- Each player plays against each other player (it's a "Round Robin tournament" in english or "toutes rondes" in French)
- usually 75 moves in 20 minutes and after 75 moves by arbitration decision, if necessary.

Our referee will be Mr Jaap Bus.

On the 10th of may, I will announce the definitive list of participants.

Friendly Greetings,
Saïd

Too soon for me this year. Maybe next year! That rule with "must take the most number of pieces" is killing me right now.
