		I analyzed games from the jenazon cup 2001 and from the olympiad 2001 to improve the endgame capabilities of Amazong, but Amazong is still far from treating all examples from the paper 'Experiments in Computer Amazons' correctly.

	Read This: More Games of No Chance
		In the 1994 volume, the main tools were the values of games, what are sometimes called "numbers", other times called "surreal numbers." These ideas were developed in 1972 by John Conway in On Numbers and Games and in 1982 by Berlekamp, Conway and Guy in Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays.
		One such game is Amazons, the subject of two articles, "Experiments in Computer Amazons" by Martin Müller and Theodore Tegos, and "Exhaustive Search in the Game Amazons" by Raymond Georg Snatzke.
		Amazons, though, is only incompletely or partially partitioned, so its analysis challenges theorists to extend and refine their tools.

	Master's Theses Ideas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A new game called Amazons is attracting attention in the game programming community because at any given turn there are typically thousands of legal moves possible, so selecting a good move among the many choices is an interesting A.I. and programming challenge.
		Also, since Amazons is a fairly new game, there is not the usual accumulation of human knowledge about the game as there is for older games like chess and go, so the program is put on its own resources very quickly.
		It is important to choose a game that has sufficient complexity to require a fair number of heuristics (tic-tac-toe will not do, for example) but is not so complex that it cannot be programmed in two semesters (starting up a go playing program from scratch should be avoided, for example).

		Amazons move like chess queens, moving only over unoccupied squares, and after a move shoot an arrow to a square accessible by a queen move.
		Chess is a challenging board game for two players with 16 pieces that move across a board with eight rows and eight columns, with fixed rules.
		The object of the game is to bring one's own King and Queen together: to move one's King onto the same square as one's Queen, or vice versa.

	Game Systems - Part 4
		Game systems (sets of components that function together in multiple games, such as decks of cards) are probably almost as old as games themselves.
		The game ends when both Werewolves are killed, in which case, the Villagers have won, or when the number of remaining Werewolves equals the number of remaining Villagers, including the Seer, in which case, the Werewolves have won.
		These games are challenging; my playtesters and I were unable to solve the first puzzle (turn the rhombus of six pennies into a hexagon) in less than five moves, although the authors state there are no less than 24 ways to do it in three moves.

		Amazons & Aliens is a real-time strategy game that focuses on empire building - you build up a town full of specialized buildings and manage your population so that enough food and raw materials are available and in use at all times.
		The combat in Amazons & Aliens has a similar problem and gives the sense that the game was intended to be as nonviolent as possible.
		An "endless" game mode is also available, which lets you play the game for as long as you like as you build up your city.

		The game environment class must verify moves: if a player proposes an illegal move, the game is terminated and the opponent is declared the winner.
		The game should be able to execute in 'stepper' mode if specified; that is, wait for keyboard input to call for the next move from a player.
		Note that the game environment class must show a display of the current state of the game but there are NO marks for fancy graphics.

		First an amazon moves to a new square and then fires an arrow to another square (the arrow is fired in a straight line in any direction from the square the amazon landed on).
		The square the arrow lands on becomes a permenant block for the rest of the game.
		Every turn an amazon must move and fire an arrow, so every turn there is one less square available on the board.

		Maybe if I had more time, perhaps weeks, to mess around with the game and figure out how to stay alive long enough to complete a mission, I would have given the game a better score.

		Just in case your not hip to who Roger Corman is and your not familiar with the term "Amazons" than maybe you should find another film to view because as far as exploitation goes this delivers the goods.
		Story is about an evil wizard named Kalungo (Joseph Whipp) who along with his minions attack the Amazon city of Imbissi in which the female warriors are forced to retreat with the Spirit Stone.
		The story is somewhat all over the place with it's magic swords and feuding families but if your a connoisseur of films that have hot and frequently nude Amazon women or of just bad films altogether than you can be rest assured that this is exactly what it advertises.

		For instance, when you get near the end of the game and you don't feel like brainlessly moving a bunch of pieces that are already blocked off into their own areas, you can click on "Auto Finish" which will set both players as AI with a 1 second think time.
		Also, if you get a little tired of waiting for the AI to move (perhaps you set the time to think too long), you can click on the Force Move button and make him move right then.
