Octi on-line has been sick all week. Hopefully, it will be back in action soon.<br><br>Just posted a new Octi6x7 puzzle. Like puzzle #5, this one tries to ...
My apologies for the delay (I have neither remote nor physical access currently, and had to have the isp reboot the machine for me). Anyhow its up now. Go...
Puzzle #7 is pretty open ended, but at least I'm pretty sure that Red can defend from its current position. <br><br>www.octi.net/puzzles.html<br><br>I'll ...
www.octi.net has changed its look. <br><br>When I get back from the Toy Fair, I'll update the links so that there the new naming conventions are used. By then,...
Here's a quick report on what I'm up to here in NYC. First off, attendance at this year's fair is down 20%, perhaps reflecting the weak economy or concerns ...
That's amazing, Chuck. Way to go!<br><br>I'd love to have a game, when there's a free moment. (Don't you hate it when games get crowded out of a busy ...
I've been playing a lot of Octi, as you can imagine, and came up with a couple new puzzles, based on some cute moves I've seen. I posted them on the puzzles ...
I'm slogging through the various links, changing the naming conventions and updating the Octi-X rules to eliminate the repositioning rule. Hopefully, I haven't...
Aaron's new high score table is up and running. The old initials have been wiped, so feel free to put yours on! Now, the policy is only one high score per ...
Thanks to Aaron's bot, the solution to puzzle 8 has been revised. Sure, Blue has a great move, but Red has an even better reply!<br><br>Cheers,<br>Don...
I'm thinking of having the robot tournament sometime in October. Is that okay?<br><br>As is our custom, we'll have an Octi6x7 and an Octi9x9 tourney, with the...
Here's the first cut at an Octi flash tutorial. Please give us comments and corrections!<br><br><a href=http://www.octi.net/flashtutorial/octiflash.htm...
Two good places to get the word out would be :<br><br>comp.ai.games news group<br><br>and Steven Woodcock's game AI page:<br><br>www.gameai.com<br><br>-jason...
Thanks for the advice on on-line outlets. I'll follow up with them in a few days.<br><br>I'm also considering putting something into a print magazine (although...
It's interesting to see how the robot is faring now that 600+ games have been logged. It seems to hold its own playing as player 2 at the lower levels. On...
Glad that we're back up and running; I was getting a little worried that we had lost the group... I've got a few new puzzles that I've been meaning to post. I...
Back from a week of sunshine and a bit of poolside Octi. I came back with a few good puzzles, which I hope to post over the next day or two. I'm really...
Hi All, I've tried to play online a few times this week at www.octi.net, but keep getting the following error: [ ERROR ] Not connected to the Octi Server. [...
Hi, Sorry, just a test to see if it accepts email postings so I can bypass the crazy tiny-voyeur-camera ads that Yahoo! relentlessly advertises!!!! 33+b 57+e ...
Ok, it's x's turn to move (don=x) and neither side has any prongs. I'm playing the computer at level 10 (ok, so there was *one* undo earlier in the game, but...
It came out all right in email. I think you need to add the tags "<pre>" and "</pre>" around preformatted texts. test: <pre> ... </pre> ... -- Charles Chiou...
Strangely, mine browser still displays it wrong on your note, Chuck, even with the tags, yet it looks okay now that I see it in the reply window(!). At any...
Aaron A put the new puzzle through the AI, and the position is a win for side 2, not side 1! After the 43-61 retreat, side 2 can respond with 57-35 rather then...
Thanks to Aaron, who supplied me with a puzzle checker for the Octi6x7 game, I should be making fewer mistakes! More puzzles coming soon. I have several for...
