What is a "friendly piece"?
[edit]Hey everyone! It's me, Bulldozer BILL! I read this page recently and wondered what a "friendly piece" is. Could anyone clarify this for me and, ideally, put this on the page? Thank you all! Bulldozer BILL (talk) 10:50, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- A piece of the same color/in the same army. (Have added glossary link friendly to article.) p.s. New secs go to bottom of the Talk page. Ok, --IHTS (talk) 03:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Why is it so hard?
[edit]The article doesn't say anything about why Arimaa is so difficult for AI to solve. What makes it so difficult?Hypershock (talk) 07:31, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how absolutely hard it is, but it was specifically designed to defeat a number of algorithms commonly used by chess programs which have very little to do with intelligence (as opposed to algorithmic optimization). AnonMoos (talk) 17:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- P.S. I guess most of that material was removed to the separate Computer Arimaa article... AnonMoos (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Cleaner diagram template on Wikibooks
[edit]Wikibooks has a board diagram template at b:Template:Arimaa/board. It uses pretty SVG pieces instead of the ugly pixelated 3D things this article has. But I can't find its source code. Can someone take care of it? BenbowInn (talk) 06:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
