I am new to the group and wonder if anyone has attempted scripting Mongolian chess (Shatar) for Axiom. Its checkmate rules (especially its requirement Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:42:39 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/785 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/785 I have made available an Axiom version of Steven Meyer's BoxOff puzzle at: http://www.freewarefiles.com/BoxOff_program_85505.html The puzzle game supports Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:25:41 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/784 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/784 Libra, by Néstor Romeral Andrés (of Nestorgames)is now available for download.

Mats Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:04:50 GMT Mats Winther http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/781 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/781 I was wrong. When making three in a row you get another move: a capture move. The problem was that I had reworked it, using add-partial, thus making it more Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:14:12 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/780 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/780 Interesting, I wouldn't have guessed that, since it's a fairly small game and the branching factor is low once the pieces have been placed. I would think that Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:41:39 GMT Mats Winther http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/779 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/779 Zillions plays 9 men Morris badly (see the standard games). Is it possible to implement a Morris game in Axiom that plays well? If so, please do this. (There Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:47:30 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/778 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/778 Hi, [Is there any way to create a game for Axiom within Linux, without using Zillions? Would I have to modify the Forth script language? I have gforth, which Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:45:04 GMT twixtfanatic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/777 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/777 Greetings. My main OS these days is GNU Linux. I can also boot Windows, for those applications that don't work well enough to suit me when run using Wine. Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:44:07 GMT Mats Winther http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/776 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/776 No, the rules are implementable, it's just that I am making use of Troyka's code. There are bugs in Backgammon.zrf and it doesn't play well. But I've now Mon, 01 Oct 2012 17:06:41 GMT Greg http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/775 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/775 Is it that the rules are too complex to implement in zrf, or is it mainly a matter of low quality of play? -- Greg Mon, 01 Oct 2012 05:32:43 GMT Mats Winther http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/774 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/774 I have now come thus far that I can conclude that it's not worth the effort. Zillions won't play this game well no matter how much tweaking I apply. So I Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:00:20 GMT Mats Winther http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/773 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axiom-system/message/773 It is tedious to read other people's code, especially if it's counter-intuitive. I think I will write it from scratch. It will be a long-term project. Mats
