Why I Fail at Making Discoveries

[Scorbie]

I managed to compile Bellman for Windows, which I posted here.

Wow. I didn't have the gd library back then, and didn't know why it needed .dll files... (thought it was broken or something) My bad... For somebody like me, here's the link of the full program with all the dlls from gd library.

it needed .dll files...

Crap! I had those dlls in a different folder which I had added to my path variable, so I just sorta forgot them. I'll edit my other post to include them in the zip file. Thanks!

Edit: Were there any problems with the ptbsearch executable that I posted?

I'll have a test run and find out. EDIT:It works perfectly. Thanks!
EDIT^2:mkhtml doesn't seem to work. Do you know what seems to be the problem?

mkhtml doesn't seem to work. Do you know what seems to be the problem?

Without knowing more, it's hard to say. When running mkhtml.py, you should run the following from the command line:

Code: Select all

mkhtml.py <path>

where <path> is replaced by the full path to the folder containing your results (this will probably be the folder that contains Bellman.exe, as it seems to save results there by default). Information on running Bellman can be found in the pdf provided by Mike Playle which I have attached to this post (in a zip file since pdfs aren't allowed).

Thanks! I entered "." instead of the full path of the current directory!

Off topic: Does anyone knows what algorithm Bellman uses?

Off topic: Does anyone knows what algorithm Bellman uses?

I think we're all quite off topic here, considering the title of the thread... (Sorry Freywa...) Other than the technological details listed in the documentation, I'm not that sure.

I guess it was "off topic" from off topic.

Switching back to the topic one of thing Freywa did is searching for p19 with bellman. It was a nice start, I guess bellman failed to find anything but that was a good direction for exploration on my opinion. I think tweaking a bit bellman input, and maybe even some of the source code, is next step in exploring this area. Anyway RandomAgar + Bellman seems to me as nice combination of tools which wasn't used enough.
