No way to find an optimal contract.<br />Living with that and playing whatever contract it ends up with - at the end of play you can't see the cards of the deal to contemplate what went wrong.<br />You cannot replay the game or analyse the game. You cannot save the game. Or view bidding after starting play.<br />I have downloaded source and although software seems very solid I would call it Object Orientation gone Mad.<br />Class Ace, Class King ... , Class NoTrump, Class Spades, Class Hearts ...<br />And I don't think the DoubleDummySolver works very well but you need hindsight to evaluate and gnubridge doesn't supply that now.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841818345930044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418172715166954378.post-25639497651991195992013-10-09T12:13:53.409-07:002013-10-09T12:13:53.409-07:00It is my hope that someone will take an interest i...It is my hope that someone will take an interest in this project and bring it back to life, it's a great opportunity for AI research that has a practical application and a potentially huge set of consumers.

You mention early on that their are limits to CPU use on the CI server that are much lower than your personal machine. Won't these limits reduce the effectiveness of using stochastic tests? That is you will only be able to run 1000 of them instead of a million and are therefore much less likely to find a problem than you would be on a less limited machine? <br /><br />Also, can you give us some details about the service you're using to host your CI server? <br /><br />Thanks!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343315799450728360noreply@blogger.com
