Update

It's been a some time since I last posted here. Still, time didn't stand still. I apologize for my lack of interest in this blog lately, if there are any people out there that like reading it.

I have chosen PyQt as the new toolkit for pypentago, and started working on the new user-interface, I have implemented the Pentago board in C, and have written a basic AI not quite capable of winning, but it's playing semi-decent.

By doing this, I've learned a lot about C and how it works. Often enough I wanted to curse it, but in the end it came out working. I'm using minimax with alpha-beta pruning to determine the best turn, but the current problem is that the function that rates a position of the board isn't very good, it just counts the longest line.

I also took at look at the pictures on my harddrive and uploaded those which I liked to deviantart. Take a look at them if you are interested.

Only for my screencasts, time seemed to have stood still. I haven't touched any of those that I should edit nor have I done a new one. I'll see when I got time to finish those and upload them to ShowMeDo.
