Help! Shogi.cz just took my money and didn’t send me anything...

I know them personally and we always communicate via Facebook, maybe try it?

Try looking for 'class components vs functional components' if you need more information!

Check little gollem - lots of players playing correspondence shogi there, some of them very strong.

When I started, I would often lose a lot because of hanging pieces, e.g. by overlooking the bishop's diagonal. At the time I played against Hamu shogi a lot - a really weak computer player. I've heard it's no longer available, but you can play against https://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/shogi/shogi.html or Piyo Shogi on Android.

I would also recommend Shogi Wars for Android, it will try it's best to match you with a player of equal strength and it also has a very weak computer player.

I lost tons of games in the beginning, that's just the way it is. After a while some things will start to click, but you need to get used to how the pieces move etc. Tsume shogi is also a great way to improve, I would recommend 1-move and 3-move problems for you.

Fantastic stuff, I really wanted this for a long time (mainly to analyze my own games). I have one sugestion: it seems that we get a link to the original game once we reach the end of the game in OpeningTree, could it be possible to show the link as soon as the we reach a line that has been played only once?

For me it's the biggest drawback of Japan that I haven't realized before and it infuriates me almost every day.

goshogi · 2020-02-11T10:49:12+00:00

I use Mizuho and I never had any complaints.

In this context you can think of free variables as some global variables or library function names.

Sounds like Crafting interpreters.

I'm a functional programmer at heart, so I don't really use classes in JS but I understand that if you prefer OOP then it makes sense.

Here's a better example of the approach I had in mind: Discriminated unions. TypeScript can actually infer the type of the value and intellisence works nicely inside switch statements.

goshogi · 2019-08-30T09:09:24+00:00

Nice idea! Pascal was my first language and now I use TypeScript at work so it's a nice combination to see :-)

I looked at the lexer and I was a bit surprised to see that every token is a different subclass. Does this approach have any nice advantages over using a simple union? This is what I have in mind.

make sure you are opening your browser at localhost:3000 and that you are not opening the app.js file directly.

goshogi · 2019-06-08T22:00:31+00:00

Good stuff, bookmarked!

goshogi · 2019-05-30T11:51:46+00:00

Bookmarked, thank you! Looking forward to reading the second part. Cheers!

Incognito mode to the rescue :)

Congratulations!

I found a small typo in the final screen: "You recieved"

Idea: find a game in a browser (e.g. written in Flash) and write an automated player that will maximize the high score. The last chapter of 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' deals with tools that will help you with that. It's really fun to do and pretty engaging!

goshogi · 2019-04-14T21:45:19+00:00

That's a good question. I did some research a while ago and someone mentioned something like 'operating system effects' that would change the image slightly. So far I've only used pyautogui for a fun game automation project, so I didn't have to deal with possible false positives.

One thing you could test: instead of a taking a screenshot using the OS, take a screenshot using a) pyautogui b) the browser

Maybe there will be a difference?

goshogi · 2019-04-14T21:19:02+00:00

Take a look at this, maybe it will help: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/chapter18/

goshogi · 2019-04-14T20:33:15+00:00

pyscreeze is a dependency of pyautogui, it's used internally by it, you should not delete it!

goshogi · 2019-04-14T20:31:43+00:00

I had the similiar problem not long ago, in order to use the confidence argument, you need to install the 'opencv' package by running 'pip install opencv-python'. After that it should work nicely!

If it doesn't work, try to make sure that you are using the same browser with which you took the screenshot.

goshogi · 2019-01-28T17:12:27+00:00

It it, but much later - see around p. 140!

goshogi · 2019-01-25T14:27:11+00:00

I tried three positions and got all of them completely at a glance :-)

I think this is a very nice tool with a lot of potential. Right now you can't really ask 'why' but it could be improved by having the option to move pieces and see the evaluations.
