RE: new test deck.txt

I was really worried about not solving this one until I realised that the stock pile is in reverse order. In that case it's easily soluble. But otherwise it's not. (I get 490 in 60ms processor time, dropping out because stock passes become ineffective.) So if you *can* solve this one, one of us has a bug.

I've put up a whole bunch of decks - mostly soluble ones - on http://dave.cridland.net/.

RE: new test deck.txt

Well that does explain why I cant solve some
of the others. But this deck is special,
because it should allow for a very quick
solve. (all cards are arranged in a way there
is always a good move) (first the entire tableau is moved to the foundation, then the next 3 cards from stock, then the next. etc.)

this should yield the results I meant to provide:

Yeah, that's what I thought.

But you can move cards from the stock to the tableau, and score more. I got 675 in 50ms, but I'm reasonably sure different algorithms could score more than that.

RE: new test deck.txt

so, how it is - can i play again and again (look for all combinations) and in the end show only combination, which got most points? imho it's cheating.

RE: new test deck.txt

Playing multiple algorithms has been declared not cheating by Matt. There's some debate about whether you're allowed to remember the path through the decision tree, though. IMHO, that'd be cheating, but others disagree.

Personally, I'm trying to find a general algorithm which gets the highest points I can on random decks, while keeping the speed low. But that'd just me.
