Literati prog

[Mark__C]

Im starting a literati client and putting it here since there is no literati forum.

this is mainly directed towards nscopex

first thing ive started on other than converting my chess code into lit which is 5 player capable is the code to receive what moves have been made in a table you join. this is probably the hardest, i know it was in chess, so after this should be easy


cur1 = .readLong
lng1 = .ReadInt
For l1 = 0 To 255
alng1(l1, 0) = .ReadShort
alng1(l1, 1) = .ReadShort
Next l1
For l1 = 0 To 25
alng2(l1) = .ReadInt
Next l1
str1 = .ReadUTF
byt1 = .ReadChar
If byt1 = 0 Then
'some stuff here
End If
lng2 = .ReadInt
Debug.Assert False


is what i have so far. this gets the letters and their placement on the board.

but for some reason there are values associated with the letters i think as implied by this line from the classes


if(o[i1].equals(n[i1]))
throw new Error("Invalid alphabet for tileword: lowercase letter " + o[i1] + " is equal to uppercase version.");


or maybe its just to check the wildcard?
perhaps you know why this is so nscopex?

[Mark__C]

ok now here are the values set for the alphabet i dont know why yet

0 71820
1 18890
2 35684
3 36016
4 110868
5 13271
6 28960
7 21212
8 80345
9 1910
10 10221
11 48908
12 25845
13 62648
14 57377
15 27023
16 1691
17 67392
18 90161
19 59171
20 32528
21 9494
22 8935
23 2855
24 14188
25 4058

[Mark__C]

i can see what letters are in the storage now

[GOD]

why not just go to scrabble.com to beat someone in lit?

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

ppl are lazy shitheads.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

****, what the ****

[Mark__C]

because I want to make a literati prog to see if i can..

havent you ever felt that way about something

[Mark__C]

so far

[nscopex]

So true... I'm not sure how the wild card will work. But i think the numerical values are much easier variables to use in the java. Instead of using the letters them selves, the letters are in a sort of encrypted state so people cane just make something to send the letters to the server as commands and make plays as fast as a chess engine does. I'm not sure though but it's kinda like instead of send the code "forfeit" to win a game in manipulating you gotta send the encrypted keeys for it. Just like that

[nscopex]

But the look is abosolutely amasing.

[Mark__C]

what is the most a letter value can be multiplied by ? like whats the highest any letter can score

[nscopex]

z, q, or x on a triple word score..

[Idbeholda]

(wildcards are easy and fun).... hehehhe

[nscopex]

Well this prog will end up good then. :-)

[leblitzer]

whynt a chess prog mark.?

[Mark__C]

i have a chess prog. in fact everyone probably does

[leblitzer]

whynt to do a chess turny in yahoo n see who get the best chess 1/0 prog

[Mark__C]

everybody uses the same crafty

[nscopex]

Mark.. hows the lit prog coiming?

[r1chard_cran1um]

lol

i don't think it will see the light of day

but it's running 100% that way

so don't feel bad Mark

[leblitzer]

nope a new engine runing on dos like crafty is out called yace,
whynt to plug a prog like fritz right now?

[r1chard_cran1um]

lets see it leb !!!

[Mark__C]

well i dont have fritz and even if i did i wouldnt be able to run it with this slow cpu

[leblitzer]

u can dl fritz7 on toutou site :)

[r1chard_cran1um]

did this prog ever see the light of day?

[r1chard_cran1um]

or is like the rest, a casualty of itself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[$hAWn]

what prog you guys talking about

[leblitzer]

XC bugs a lot on linux :(

[r1chard_cran1um]

as ur running xp , yes that would be a problem

[nscopex]

No one could figure out how to get the tiles/letters to configure because of the way they are setup for the game. SO no. it hasnt seent he light of day

[r1chard_cran1um]

thanks , i was just wondering :(

[Mark__C]

im pretty sure i can figure it out

im just swamped with college stuff right now

[r1chard_cran1um]

fair enough

[Tanya]

Hi Mark=-) Long Time....

[Mark__C]

Yes, too long

Who are you?

[kroz]

Lol leb. nice title.

[Zenos]

ever heard of literati buddy?

[Idbeholda]

Yeah. I've tried it and it sucks ass. That's why I'm also making an open source board analyzer (no, it doesn't "scan" the board like lb or lab, but it runs faster than either) to put on my site, along with about 5 other programs. The reason none of them are up is because as of now, I have not had the time to get the final touches on any of the programs (ZQuest still being in the beta stage) and have been busy with work, school, and sex.

When I have the time to upload and compile **** I will, and LBK will possibly be up in the next few weeks, provided I can get some alone time and actually sit down for more than 20 minutes to program without being bothered.

[Mr ZeRo]

Hope ya release it soon..if ever :-/

[nscopex]

Actually. I have found a Literati Program. That does everything we wanted fellas. Mark, if you know assembly and want to hex it and find out what you need (lol) I'll send it to you.

[google]

why do they call it literati, and not scrabble?
i have never heard of literati until i started playing it on yahoo. and found out it was scrabble.
anyway, things yahoo does confuses me

[shado_hacker]

lol

[Mark__C]

cuz maybe scrabble is copyrighted?

[narcisistic]

lol mark has a point copyright laws

[r1chard_cran1um]

Hs to do with being able to use the noodle !!!!!

Literati

n : the literary intelligentsia

[t0tenk0pf]

Yes literati Yes

[nscopex]

Dont be retarded? This was once a good thread. Like the rest it went to ****.

[r1chard_cran1um]

wow and it only took u 4 days to figure that out?

Did you do it on your very own or did someone help ??

[nscopex]

wow... rich is a stupid cunt

[Limpkinw]

hey Mike nice seein ya...keep in touch will ya?

[nscopex]

Mike... you must contact me on that prog... its... AMAZING

[nscopex]

Is "68" the table number? I would think so, but that's art. The design is amasing. And knowing what tiles are next, I'm impressed. Your skills will never cease to amaze me.

[GOD]

thats pretty cool
if you release that let us know
i wouldnt PAY for it per se
but id definately use it

[halcy0nical]

Yeah, 68 is the table number. It also detects when tiles are being moved, what they are changed to, what positions they go to, and so on, so in theory you could make a client that autoplays the game for you. It would work even better then programs that just "read the board", because it could see the opponents tiles as well as the future tiles and plan strategy using that information. Also, a program like this can be done in any game that allows kibitzing, ie being able to see all the cards your opponents have plus all the remaining cards in the game for Euchre, Hearts, etc. Note, the kibitz option is never used, but in a non kibitzing game you could already see all the information :-p

[nscopex]

If kibitzing is not allowed, would It still pick up the information? Does it bypass the actual "allow kibitzing packet" when its unchecked?

[halcy0nical]

Kibitzing doesn't matter at all as it is not used by the program to find out the game information, I was just saying in a game with no kibitz option you wouldn't really need to make a program for it since you can already see all the information, like in chess, there is no mystery piece your opponent might get randomly from the server to use.

[nscopex]

Gotcha. I misread what you had written. Thats an amasing piece of work you have never the less.

[nscopex]

I like the fact that you could engineise (made up word) it to work against your opponent. Why not try it? See what you could come up with. I'll gladly play against it. :-D

[halcy0nical]

It's all good, time to get back to studying for finals, I was just curious what was up with the Yahoo! world, everything seems the same for the most part except there are wannabe Yahoo! rappers now, too funny.

[nscopex]

Not everything is the same. Lots has changed in the base. You cant run clients like you used to. Bypassing the security is a bit harder every now and then. But enjoy studying.

[halcy0nical]

Hmm so boosting and cracking and all that is fixed? If so, I might have to find a way to do it again, outsmarting Yahoo! always feels good.

[nscopex]

Well the boosting is fixed, last time i checked (months ago) it was. Cracking was never my forte.

[halcy0nical]

I was thinking about it last night, and because of how the letters are distributed in Literati, you technically could choose which letters you get. Since the letters are stored in a queue format, which uses FIFO for dequeueing, you would just have to find the section of the applet in which the dequeue occurs, and change it from the normal FIFO to the position in the queue in which the tile you want resides. That is

Queue
A
B
C
D
E
F
Normally, you would get A B C, as dequeue pulls off the first element, but if you told it you wanted position 1, 4, and 5 instead of the normal position 0 it picks for each letter, you would get B, E, and F. I have not checked if an actual queue is used yet, it could be another similar data structure, or a linked list, but even then you could still iterate through the list until you get the letters you need. To do this you would have to modify the applet, so a complication might arise if your opponent using a normal applet doesn't understand how you got your letters and the game would crash, although as long as you resized the queue or linked list appropriately it should still recognize it as being unchanged. Oh well, back to studying, finals suck.

[ZEROXTREMECOOL]

Umz yahoo has fixed nothing............
I have two working boosters on me right now even though I dont use em they look awful pretty and I want ratman back dont really care if it works or not just want to use the client part........................

Cracking is Cracking until yahoo shuts down there servers cracking will work.

Continue the interesting post guys this is the first thread I have found that has any in o say a week now.

[t0tenk0pf]

ya i thought ratman would be fixed at the end of nov. what gives??

[Qball]

sup all, how is everyone here at limpkinw ...... seasons greetings all, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!!!! well could someone pls help me out im trying to find a program called vb.usercontrol ......... does anyone know where i may find this program at ???

[t0tenk0pf]

NOPE

[r1chard_cran1um]

well if you remember i said ratman and chessmate wouldnt be done for a long time , if at all, if your holding your breath, please stop !!!!!!!!!!

[-SPLIFFY-]

anyone know where i can get lit prog.. i need the best one there is.

[cesar]

if you guys are there could i get a hint as to how to determine at the beginning what the tile queue is. i can't figure it out. all i know is that the packet you get when you first join a new table is always the same except for four bytes near the beginning, and the values that Mark_C mentioned for the letters are also encoded near the end of that packet. What are all those other 255's for and how do we use these letter values??? someone please give me a clue....
