| 143 | 636 | 1999-03-16 00:16:58 | <em>Category:</em> Strategy<br> This is an AI opponent for an intense strategy game called "go". <p> Unlike chess, which is relatively easy to computerize, programs aren't all that good at go. I consider this a testament to go's rich strategy. <p> If you want a really good opponent, check out <a href="/show?cgoban">cgoban</a>, which lets you play humans at go. But if you'd rather practice against a computer first, baduki is a reasonable choice. <p> baduki has a GTK+ interface, or you can play under cgoban with the GMP protocol. | baduki | new | |
| 144 | 657 | 1999-03-16 19:30:22 | <em>Category:</em> Role Playing<br> GnomeHack is a Gnome port of NetHack, the popular role-playing game based loosely on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons(tm). If you have ever played any role-playing games, you probably know how much fun they can be, and NetHack is the greatest (IMHO) of all the Rogue-like games. | GnomeHack 1.0.1 | new | |
