Morat is a game playing framework, along with implementations of several games. It includes some general purpose libraries (alarm, time, thread, random), and some game specific libraries (compacting tree, gtp, time controls).

So far it supports 3 games:

• Havannah
• Y
• Pentago

So far it supports 3 algorithms:

• MCTS: Monte-Carlo Tree Search
• PNS: Proof Number Search
• AB: Alpha-Beta

The goal is to make the algorithms game independent, and make it easier to implement new games with strong players. There is quite a bit of work left to make this a reality, so the current work is just to make the game code more similar and then move the code into common libraries.

The primary interface is GTP (Go Text Protocol), which can be used from:

• the command line
• a UI like HavannahGui
• a webserver and interface

• Linux (probably works on any unix)
• C++ tool chain (g++ or clang)

• Check out the code from github
• Run make to compile the code
• Run:
  • ./castro for Havannah
  • ./moy for Y
  • ./pentagod for pentago

If you make any changes to the code and want to update the dependencies, just make clean, or rm .Makefile.
