Personnel
gollark: SMH my head, just microwave the scönes?
gollark: Also, it really should be capable of searching a few hundred thousand nodes and JS is clearly just being hilariously inefficient, but if I use WASM I could write a better Rust implementation.
gollark: *But* I could probably make it pick positions based on a heuristic to maximize the amount of nearly-lines it has and to minimize the opponent's.
gollark: So the initial simple minimax thing didn't work well because it couldn't search deep trees because combinatorial explosion.
gollark: Which I guess would come under "more computing resources". But anyway.
