What's the best strategy? I barely notice any strategic edge, or even penality for making moves that look bad.

- ggggtez 5y agoTaking a look, I don't really see any concrete lessons to take away. Maybe the most concrete thing is that a 3 block is valued at 20 while a 2 block is valued at 8. Unfortunately, this heuristic is probably just arbitrary, and nearly any set of weights would probably still produce a meaningful result since the main strategy is just Expectimax search. Disappointing. I was really hoping for some intuition that a human could apply
- amitport 5y agoWell it was just an anecdote, but in any case, there are a few strategies in this codebase, and I think if you look at https://github.com/amitport/senet-ai/blob/master/SmartUtility.cpp https://github.com/amitport/senet-ai/blob/master/SmartUtilit... you'll find it does a little more than what you said.
