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.). Also the order of coordinates here is '''(column, row)''' the reverse of what I used. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 12:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

== Proposed Addition to the task definition ==

Tasks really need to have some form of comparable output. Drawings of games are often missing information and difficult to validate. I'm going to suggest that each task should output the game in the notation that is used by the Pentasol player. It seems to be accepted as a defacto standard for morpion and the images it produces are better than ascii art. I'd suggest that people could use the output of one of their random games played through pentasol to illustrate their example.
