XoXo does not start. An error is issued - "pbrain-XoXo.F.exe did not answer OK to the START command". How to fix it?

Long time no see, Tomas! :)

Hello Gomocupeers,

I just registered. I really appriciate the progress in the tournament made by organizers.

Looking forward the tournament.

Is everything moving forward as planned?

These day's, with lots of events being cancelled it's hard to know.

Hopefully everyone is healthy and all is good...

Cheers

@Guang Yang You can submit one brain for every category as well one brain for all rules. So decision is on you. I personally prefer the first option.

Guang Yang (tf) 2020-04-17 04:09:42

Dear friends,

Should we submit several brains for different groups, or submit only one brain that can handle different rules?

Tianyi Hao (wind23) 2020-04-13 10:34:07

Welcome back, Paul!

Paul Dwyer (paulfdwyer) 2020-04-12 06:43:25

Submitted a new version of PureGM today! First submission in quite a few years.

Hopefully will do better than in the past

Good luck everyone. I hope you are all staying healthy.

Probably yes, but I don't know how many programs use such design. For the Gomocup it is not necessary, as the parameters will not change during game.

Guang Yang (tf) 2020-04-01 01:39:10

Oh, I see. Thank you, Maciej!

I also saw an idea that we should make a seperate thread to receive inputs from the manager.

Is this a good idea?

Thank you!

In Gomocup every program can use only one CPU core, so even if you make multi-threaded program, all threads will run on the same core.

Guang Yang (tf) 2020-03-29 07:44:32

Dear friends, I saw this on Gomocup website:

"Although multi-thread programs are allowed in the Gomocup tournaments, one brain is restricted to use only one CPU core by setting CPU affinities to the program (see the document of Piskvork about how to set CPU affinities), so the brains could not gain speed by multi-thread thinking."

I don't fully understand it, because I'm a beginner of programming.

Do you think it's better to use multi-thread or not to use it?

Thank you!!

Hello

Olga Gromova (shaurma) 2019-05-25 02:13:52

No, it does not open directly either. All other engines open.

Tianyi Hao (wind23) 2019-05-22 10:15:32

Can you open pbrain-wulin.exe on your PC directly?

Olga Gromova (shaurma) 2019-05-21 02:07:46

Wulin does not work. When start it play, Piskvork's window with the inscription ''pbrain-wulin.exe did not answer OK to the START command'' pops up. What does it mean??

Kai Sun (sun) 2019-05-02 11:35:06

All submissions (the latest one if you made any update) should have been confirmed. If you have not received confirmtion from us, please let us know. Good luck in the tournament!

Hi all, we are aware that the website is blocked by Google Safe Browsing due to antivirus false positives. We have been working on solving the issue.

Tianyi Hao (wind23) 2019-04-30 01:23:50

Jakub, don't need to worry about it. The engines will be confirmed eventually. We will contact you if anything is wrong.

Jakub Horák (3ifndef) 2019-04-29 09:45:26

Why has my engine still unprocessed? Went something wrong?
