But yeah testing it, it seems like the board state can’t repeat so it’s like territory scoring (territory +captures) with superko.
If the position is this, black to play, and they capture bottom left, followed by white top right and so on, with the triple ko, it can loop back to
but this is an illegal move for White
I can’t remember what I should check to distinguish between positional and situational
This was something that did come to mind though

I wonder how they determine which stones are dead within that territory. I could not really find something like that in that language document, but I only briefly checked it, with some ctrl+f.

Ah that’s a good point, I guess it doesn’t handle that too well
and then two passes
I guess it would need a mark dead stones phase.
There might be a way to code another phase into the game for something like that.

@Vsotvep and @yebellz it also talks about how it has some graph generators
on page 25ish
so things like
and this
and other tilings of shapes can supposedly be generated
e.g.
from this
but this above is only a boring placement game where if you make the last move you win, no capturing, restricted placements etc.

It’s here:
If you’re a newbie and don’t know which programming language to choose…

You will choose Lisp without doubts
This webcomic talks about Programming Languages, so people talk about Lisp and Ludii…
By that standard, anything is anything.

All that Ludii stuff seems to deserve its own thread.
Or is it already gone?

I feel like a meandering into linguistics is what makes this a proper ogf thread. The rules pedantry is just further delicious icing on the cake.

Do programming languages really fall under the umbrella of “linguistics”?

Yeah, it really does. Computers, networks, animals and plants all have their languages, they build the linguistic tree together.

I don’t think so. Too many differences.
