Thanks Tim T. for the many corrections to the hopeless grammar I initially had in [[Pig the dice game]]; I hope my English has improved. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:57, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
==Strategy==
I've put together an estimator for use in deciding whether to reroll or not. Here's pseudo-code for people that cannot read J:
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
::That said, using philosophy behind "you don't have to be faster than the bear", a strategy which takes into account your opponent's score could be superior -- sometimes playing more conservatively because we know that our opponent doesn't have a good chance of winning. That said, I have not completely convinced myself that this would ever be a good idea -- intuitively, it seems like it could be, but I have not had the time to think it through, yet. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
I was thinking of implementing a simple always roll n times then hold. I could then do stats on randomly varying n for each player and see if there are any patterns for the winner. But as yet I have no prog at all so its just an idea... --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 03:09, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
