Sorry. But Games Day is the Wed after that, on Hol Hamoed. Games Day starts at 10 am.. -- Yehuda Berlinger http://purplepawn.com http://jergames.blogspot.com...
Unless something terrible prevents me, I'll be there for the May 14th - June 4th game nights, ready to run some Children of Fire games. So far, everyone I've...
Shavua Tov, I left a small tupperware container with a yellow lid and some food scraps in it at Jon's on gameday. They can't find it. If you accidentally took...
Hi Yehuda, I hope you had a good Pesach, I really appreciate your email, and your positive feedback. Firstly regarding SS, at the UK toy fair last year I...
28 stones, 7 columns/rows. Each turn, you take 1 or more stones from any one row or column. Last to take a stone loses. Jon ... -- Yehuda Berlinger ...
Can the stones come from the middle of a row/column, or only from one end. If the latter, any specific end? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Anywhere, any stones, so long as they are all from only one column or row. ... -- Yehuda Berlinger http://purplepawn.com http://jergames.blogspot.com...
I asked my father-in-law, who is a *real* expert on this stuff, and he guessed that it is pSpace complete (which is even stronger than NP complete) ... ...
None of the concepts, P, NP, pSpace or any other complexity theory concepts have any meaning for a given board size. They all refer to how complexity increases...
I've been thinking about it a bit, and I've already solved it for 3 and 4 columns and I will work on 5 when I get bored again and have pen'n'paper handy (so I...
Assuming it is NP complete, I would guess the current version is still within the reach of computers, but not of people. ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Well, remember that: if the solution for a triangle of size N is a second-player win, then the solution for size N+1 is a first-player win. First player simply...
P, NP, etc. have plenty of meaning for a fixed board size and don't depend on changing sizes of any sort; they simply refer to the time complexity of the...
Anyone interested in seeing what Wizards has changed in 4th edition? I don't have an advance copy of the rules, but the current compendium of known D&D 4e...
Sorry, but I have to disagree. You can't talk about the time complexity of an algorithm unless you can discuss how the run time of the algorithm changes with...
I'd be willing to give it a shot. I've generally liked the direction D&D has taken in its evolution since the original edition (I've played them all), though I...
Sadly, 3, 4, and 5 were all solved as a guaranteed first-player win so I can't use that handy trick. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
My point was that once you determine the order of a game playing algorithm, I think it is meaningful to talk about a fixed board size N because you can talk...
I don't have much interest in 4e D&D. But I'll play it if RPG is on hand and that's what everyone else wants to play. Yehuda ... -- Yehuda Berlinger ...
As Jon knows, I seem to have permanently burnt out on D&D. If the 21st is role-playing, I will pass. I hope the rest of you enjoy yourselves though. ... ...
I prefer regular games. If we're doing RPG please send me character creation info, though I already have an angel character somewhere. Nadine ... [Non-text...
You do?!? Please send it to me so I can better prepare for CoF on the 14th (if, as I hope, you're planning on participating)... Anyone else already have an...
I do, but there's no way I'm going to make both the 14th and the 21st, so I have to pick one or the other. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
