Update: AI and Multiplayer

It has been a little while since the last update so I wanted to give players a quick overview of the work being done. AI is the big thing. We now have a fairly stable AI for the next version.

addedIt has been a little while since the last update so I wanted to give players a quick overview of the work being done. AI is the big thing. We now have a fairly stable AI for the next version. I still wouldn't call it "good", but it isn't "bad" either. It makes some fairly intelligent plays and for the most part avoids obvious mistakes. It is also capable of making quantum moves. It is based on a standard chess AI, so players familiar with chess may notice some patterns of play often seen there. I've also settled on a new networking architecture for multiplayer that should alleviate a lot of the connection headaches and allow for the easy implementation of some nice features like games that persist through different play sessions. I'll keep updating as work here progresses. Again, thank you to all of the players for your continued support and patience.
