;;; Commentary:
;; Landmark is a relatively non-participatory game in which a robot
;; attempts to maneuver towards a tree at the center of the window
;; based on unique olfactory cues from each of the 4 directions. If
;; the smell of the tree increases, then the weights in the robot's
;; brain are adjusted to encourage this odor-driven behavior in the
;; future. If the smell of the tree decreases, the robots weights are
;; adjusted to discourage a correct move.

;; In laymen's terms, the search space is initially flat. The point
;; of training is to "turn up the edges of the search space" so that
;; the robot rolls toward the center.

;; Further, do not become alarmed if the robot appears to oscillate
;; back and forth between two or a few positions. This simply means
;; it is currently caught in a local minimum and is doing its best to
;; work its way out.

;; The version of this program as described has a small problem. a
;; move in a net direction can produce gross credit assignment. for
;; example, if moving south will produce positive payoff, then, if in
;; a single move, one moves east,west and south, then both east and
;; west will be improved when they shouldn't

;; Many thanks to Yuri Pryadkin <yuri@rana.usc.edu> for this
;; concise problem description.

;;;_ +  THE SCORE TABLE.


;; Every (free) square has a score associated to it, recorded in the
;; LANDMARK-SCORE-TABLE vector. The program always plays in the square having
;; the highest score.

(defvar landmark-score-table nil
  "Vector recording the actual score of the free squares.")


;; The key point point about the algorithm is that, rather than considering
;; the board as just a set of squares, we prefer to see it as a "space" of
;; internested 5-tuples of contiguous squares (called qtuples).
;;
;; The aim of the program is to fill one qtuple with its O's while preventing
;; you from filling another one with your X's. To that effect, it computes a
;; score for every qtuple, with better qtuples having better scores. Of
;; course, the score of a qtuple (taken in isolation) is just determined by
;; its contents as a set, i.e. not considering the order of its elements. The
;; highest score is given to the "OOOO" qtuples because playing in such a
;; qtuple is winning the game. Just after this comes the "XXXX" qtuple because
;; not playing in it is just losing the game, and so on. Note that a
;; "polluted" qtuple, i.e. one containing at least one X and at least one O,
;; has score zero because there is no more any point in playing in it, from
;; both an attacking and a defending point of view.
;;
;; Given the score of every qtuple, the score of a given free square on the
;; board is just the sum of the scores of all the qtuples to which it belongs,
;; because playing in that square is playing in all its containing qtuples at
;; once. And it is that function which takes into account the internesting of
;; the qtuples.
;;
;; This algorithm is rather simple but anyway it gives a not so dumb level of
;; play. It easily extends to "n-dimensional Landmark", where a win should not
;; be obtained with as few as 5 contiguous marks: 6 or 7 (depending on n !)
;; should be preferred.


;; Here are the scores of the nine "non-polluted" configurations.  Tuning
;; these values will change (hopefully improve) the strength of the program
;; and may change its style (rather aggressive here).

(defconst landmark-nil-score	  7  "Score of an empty qtuple.")

        (OOOscore    15000)  ; Score of a qtuple containing three O's.
        (OOOOscore  800000)) ; Score of a qtuple containing four O's.

    ;; These values are not just random: if, given the following situation:
    ;;
    ;;			  . . . . . . . O .
    ;;			  . X X a . . . X .
    ;;			  . . . X . . . X .
    ;;			  . . . X . . . X .
    ;;			  . . . . . . . b .
    ;;
    ;; you want Emacs to play in "a" and not in "b", then the parameters must
    ;; satisfy the inequality:
    ;;
    ;;		   6 * XXscore > XXXscore + XXscore
    ;;
    ;; because "a" mainly belongs to six "XX" qtuples (the others are less
    ;; important) while "b" belongs to one "XXX" and one "XX" qtuples.
    ;; Other conditions are required to obtain sensible moves, but the
    ;; previous example should illustrate the point.  If you manage to
    ;; improve on these values, please send me a note.  Thanks.


    ;; As we chose values 0, 1 and 6 to denote empty, X and O squares,
    ;; the contents of a qtuple are uniquely determined by the sum of
    ;; its elements and we just have to set up a translation table.

;; qtuple, thus to be a winning move. Similarly, the only way for a square to

;;;_  -  INITIALIZING THE SCORE TABLE.

;; are sufficiently far from the sides. As computing the number is time
;; consuming, we initialize every square with 20*nil-score and then only
;; consider squares at less than 5 squares from one side. We speed this up by
;; taking symmetry into account.
