Re: 7 Card Hand Evaluators
Phil why are you hostile? Did I ever say the world needed a poker stove that was 10,000 times faster? In fact, you gloss over the fact I said the exact opposite, because you want to pick a fight.
I didn't design my program to be the next poker stove, i designed it for speed - to be used in high end bots that i work on, or game theory software, which is pretty much the same thing.
BTW i'm not a programmer, and haven't worked on these algorithms in over a year, so i mistook how much memory they used. I said 200mb, that was an earlier version, I double checked, they use about 15MBs. My original version was 8 gigs of hd space...so i've made lots improvements over time.
Anyways, do i fault poker stove for using "lookup tables" - of course not. I use them too. My point - which u missed, because u want a fight - was that if a result is not on the lookup table, the program slows considerably. From 100,000 million games a second, to 5,000. The difference being is that for my algorithm no result is "off table."
