Subject: Re: The Rules of LUDO
playBunny: Thank you for your response. I accept that people will develop many variations of a game, but I assume that somewhere there are basic rules of the game. As I look at the game preseted on this site it seems to be 95% chance with very little tactical skill facilitated. Of all the variations you mention, the 2 which would allow most tactical expression are the individual use of the dice rolls and the ability to stack and block. Maybe a variation of the present game could be added at some stage?

Subject: The Rules of LUDO
I'm new to LUDO on this site and find one of the rules very strange! At the start of my game I rolled 6, 6, 2. I assumed I could move 2 men out with the 6s and move one of them 2 with the 2. But NO! I must make all the moves with one man! Very different from how we played the board game all those years ago.

How about ludo on a smaller board like this:

xxxooaxss
xxxohoxxs
xxxohoxxx
oooohoooo
oxxxxxxxo
ooooioooo
xxxoioxxx
txxoioxxx
ttxbooxxx

where:
x: nothing
o: empty square
h: Home black
i: Home white
s: Start Black
t: Start white
a: Arrival space Black
b: Arrival space white

This one should be quicker than normal ludo (the race length is shorther and players have just 3 men).

Subject: AutoPass
Hi everyone. I have recently implemented hexkid's AutoPlay Utility on my server. This is not officially part of Brain King but can be useful. If you are not already using hexkid's autoplayer you can sign up for mine at http://mctrivia.com/BK/AutoPlayer

This utility will play any games were you are in pass position or have only one possible choice.

Does anyone have any game situations that could have gone either way? I would love to spur good conversation about ludo and why one move of a piece would be better than another piece. I am not talking just any game situation here, but plays where it could go either way, and maybe even the statistical probability of good things and bad things happening after this said play!?

Anyone got anything?

I will look and see if I can find anything. :-)

Well there are 40 squares(well circles) on the board plus 4 home space and 4 start spaces. This means that white can take up

48c4 posible ways(sorry can't find my calculator)

That is the easy thing to figure out. I beleive to calculate the number of positions both sides can be on would be

48c4+44c4+x

not sure at this moment how to calculate x. It i caused because the extra 8 positions are seperate for each board. I will have to think more about this when I have slept.

Here is my: 10 straight passes to start a game:

The riddles... and the answers...

What is the most blue squares you can get on the board at once?

7! If you are really lucky and you can take three pieces out with a 6-6-x roll. It's possible! But improbable.

What is the highest total of the die you can get?

21! If you roll a 5-5-6-5!

:-D

Again, not saying that this does not work - I know nothing about it, but everyone should be clear that it is at your own risk.

For example if your password is: 1234
then your MD5 hasshed password would be: 81dc9bdb52d04dc20036dbd8313ed055

goto http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ for more info on MD5 and a calculator

rednaz23: As for the message it is sent every time the auto player plays for us. It allows for you to play us a lot faster as the system checks every 15 minutes if the game is autopassed and if it is will play on our behalf. If there is more then one option it does nothing.

Auto pass works for the following games so far:
Anti Backgammon
Anti Chess
Anti Reversi
Backgammon
Backgammon Race
Crowded Backgammon
Hyper Backgammon
Ludo
Nackgammon
Reversi 10x10
Reversi 6x6
Reversi 8x8

rednaz23: the auto pass thing is a program hexkid wroute at my sugestion on the user script board. It works well we have been playing with it for a few weeks in private games. No it is not an official part of brain king Fencer refuses to write the option so we decided to write it. If you want to use it the address is: http://hexkid.eu/BK/AutoPlayer/AutoPlayer.php


You do however need to give your username and the MD5 hashed version of your password. The reason MD5 is because it can not be reverse enginered into your password.

If you don't want to use it then don't.

Something I have learned:

If anyone is sent a link about auto-pass, I advise you to consider the information that you are giving out... these links come in a game message while playing ludo against certain people, possibly regular messages, or found in discussion boards. Just consider what you're doing!
