== Game Notation ==

While working on this I realized it might be handy to be able to replay games and a game notation would be needed. I created one [[Morpion_solitaire/Rosin177|here]]before I found notations used with the [http://pentasol.systemutvecklarna.se/ Pentasol player]. Downloadable text versions of record games can be found on the [http://www.morpionsolitaire.com/English/RecordsGrids5T.htm Morpionsolitare.com records page]]. The notation looks like this:

<pre># Morpion Solitaire game

(28,28)

(27,25) - +2

(32,32) / 0

(30,28) - +2

(28,35) | -2

(30,33) / 0

...</pre>

The above is taken from [[http://www.morpionsolitaire.com/Grid5T177RosinA.txt Rosin's 1st 177 move game]]. The first line references the final position of the north-west valley. Each line is a set of coordinates followed by a direction and a distance. I haven't found an explanation of the final integer; however, they appear to be 0,1,2 indicating where the center of the line is relative to the move (center=0, top/left end=+2, etc.), --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 12:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
