SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on developing an agent for the game Gomoku, specifically seeking rules and heuristics for effective gameplay. The user has implemented a brute force search to determine the best move but lacks knowledge in creating heuristic functions. The request emphasizes the need for examples of heuristic functions in LISP/CLISP for the five-in-a-row (connect-5) game variant.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Gomoku game rules and objectives
  • Familiarity with heuristic algorithms in game theory
  • Proficiency in LISP/CLISP programming language
  • Knowledge of brute force search techniques in AI
NEXT STEPS
  • Research heuristic evaluation functions for Gomoku
  • Explore LISP/CLISP libraries for game development
  • Learn about Minimax algorithm and its application in Gomoku
  • Investigate advanced AI techniques for optimizing game strategies
USEFUL FOR

Game developers, AI researchers, and students working on assignments related to game theory and artificial intelligence, particularly those focused on Gomoku or similar strategic games.

I am to write an agent to play the game Gomoku, for an assignment. Does anyone know any basic rules/heuristics I might use?

Thanks for the link.

So far I have done a search for my agent. It returns the best move from a brute force search. However, I have absolutely no idea how to write heuristics for it. Can anyone give me an example (for this game, five-in-a-row or connect-5) of a heuristics function in LISP/CLISP?
 

Thread 'Looking for a reliable inkjet All-In-One printer for photos and docs'

I am having a hell of a time finding a good all-in-one inkjet printer. I must have gone through 5 Canon, 2 HP, one Brother, one Epson and two 4 X 6 photo printers in the last 7 yrs. all have all sort of problems. I don't even know where to start anymore. my price range is $180-$400, not exactly the cheapest ones. Mainly it's for my wife which is not exactly good in tech. most of the problem is the printers kept changing the way it operate. Must be from auto update. I cannot turn off the...
