blackDrawValue, whiteDrawValue | In the example, the black draw value is +100 discs (black seeks draws) and the white draw value is -100 discs (white avoids draws). Another popular value is 0, which is the way wzebra works. (Full-strength Zebra has black seeks/avoids draws options just like ntest). |
blackRand, whiteRand | These both use my screwy rand system where randomness is 2rand discs, so 0 means 1 disc randomness. |
book flag | if set to 0, the computer will play without using a book (and will not add the games to book). |
negamax flag | if set to 1, the computer will check its book for transpositions when it loads it. |
display book values for me, opponent | if set to 0, will display no book info. -1 to display all info. |
