humans vs. computers at amazons
  • Bram Cohen at 2004-10-18

    Does anyone know whether the best humans are better than the best computers at amazons? I just played a bit against amazong, and really struggled against it, but I'm not very good.

    My guess would be that the best humans obliterate the best computers, given that although I struggle against amazong I can at least hold my own reasonably, while against the best humans it's hardly even a contest. Would any of the good humans care to offer an opinion?

    I was wondering the same. I was able to win on the beginner setting, but with five second turns I am soundly beaten every game.

    Lots of fun, at any rate. I'm still wondering about the scoring system.

    Do i have to sacrifize something to play against the computer? It just keeps playing against himself and if i click on 'computer' on the top right or the button to the left nothing happens…

    Click on the “human” button for the colour you want to play. Change settings for the computer's settings if you like, and start a new game.

    I love Java. Maybe you can show me the

    Hmmm, maybe not. :-)

    Try this address instead: http://swiss2.whosting.ch/jenslieb/amazong/amazong.html

    This is the URL i'm using. I think i should write Jens a message…

    The button is on the top right. Computer and Human. Two rows, two “buttons” at each row. Perhaps a not updated Java version, you are using?
