Last Updates:
There are tons of bugs. Thanks for the patients.
* Version 0.687:
- Added two players using HTTP. Use browser proxy setting. Should have no firewall issue.
* Version 0.679:
- Implemented AlphaBeta algorithm for AI. Currently set the look ahead for the computer to 4 plies (moves). The computer moves fairly quickly. The computer still plays in a begining level.
- Fixed the annoying sounds. Use voice for Ouk sound.
* Version 0.675:
- Testing MiniMax with 3 plies (each move might take a minute for slow computer)
- MiniMax is an exhaustive search and the computer take longer to move. This is just a proof of concept to test the piece scoring.
