Five-in-a-row game, with deep-learning AI

[deep_remi]

Yes, sorry, the saved game was lost in a server hard-drive failure 2 years ago, and I do not have a backup. You should be able to create one from the blueprint (make sure to zoom out first, because Factorio does not handle such a huge blueprint very well).

It is possible to recreate the map from the blueprint BUT that require loading a pre 2.0 version of the game where there are still "rocket control unit" in the game, or else the signal is missing and the blueprint has some holes in it and also to unchart quite a lot of area before attempting to paste the blueprint, it's not that big that it's impossible to import, but it's big enough that it's a pain to paste a second or a thid time over the first one if parts were missing.

The experience of loosing against a blueprint that only has 64 neurons hasn't changed

Did you manage to make it work? If you have a saved game for the new version, then I could host it on my web site. I removed Factorio from my computer, and promised to myself to never install it again, because I was wasting too much time.

The original blueprint contains satellite and rocket-control-unit items and is incomplete if you import it in 2.0.

I decoded the blueprint, replaced the items with tungsten-carbide and tungsten-plate and recreated a blueprint. It imports without errors and can be placed on a map in map editor mode, however I don't know how to play and how to see if it works correctly.

If to be used without space age, you probably need to replace the items with something non-space age related, probably with one of the new virtual signals. But since for a virtual signal the signal type is to replaced as well, I didn't do this since I just used text search&treplace. With jq it should be quite easy to replace both if you're able to create a corresponding jq filter, but since I'm about to leave for my new year's party I'm unable to finish this

Thanks for your effort.

You can play by dropping stone bricks into steel chests, as shown in the YouTube video.

IIRC, some letter signals from the end of the alphabet may still be free to use. I will try to make a new version for Factorio 2.0 during the week end, after all.

Have a nice new year party!

I employed Chatgpt to get me a better signal replacement with a jq filter, and here are the results. I used shape-horizontal and shape-vertical as signal replacements for satellite and rocket-control-unit.

(It acts differently than in the video and it's quite dumb, however it adheres to the rules, so I guess it's working correctly in general)

Unfortunatly, i only have a working save game for the 1.1 version

does behave like in the video !

Factorio does takes a lot of time, but when considering the other things i do with said time, it doesn't feel like a waste to me

I was about to say thank you and ask for how you did it, because i would suggest "not" using space age item , to make the lightest possible 2.0 version, and i see you gave the ressources you used later, but when attempting to play with your version in 2.0 i noticed it didn't behave like the video, i think something went wrong in the update because really the AI isn't like you say :

(It acts differently than in the video and it's quite dumb, however it adheres to the rules, so I guess it's working correctly in general)

The AI choices are deterministic, there is no randomness or pseudo one based on any time or anything like that, so if it doesn't behave like in the video, to me, it means something went wrong, but there are like 150K entities so it's not easy to figure out what. And i don't know how to use the debug screens on the right side or if they are useful in that situation.

The AI is VERY GOOD, you may need to do a little research about the gomoku narabe rules, especially the starting positions, because i think you have to do the first move on behalf of the AI, i don't remember for sure if that's because otherwise the AI would always do the same first move, or if that's because the game when played has different starting positions depending on handicap or things like this but if you try to start like in the video, placing the stone brick in the same chest in the same order, i don't think you can beat the AI in the version "1.1"
