gollark: Just use macrons to make it work.
gollark: Idea: what if we make it so that our code *only* runs on palaiolgoasodasodsls's computer, so nobody can devise countermeasures?
gollark: Anyway, the game is simpler than Go, so really we should have no issues whatsoever.
gollark: That's just slightly efficient minimax.
gollark: As with all of these things there are *lots of details*.
