  • Prothemenops khirikhan Schwendinger & Hongpadharakiree, 2014 – Thailand

  • Prothemenops siamensis Schwendinger, 1991 (type) – Thailand
gollark: (because it's bad, and won't do that automatically)
gollark: (technically it also has some code to force it to respond to an instant-lose/instant-win situation)
gollark: It is funny that people keep losing to a fairly trivial piece of code which just decides how good a move is by playing 100 *entirely random games* starting from it and seeing how many it wins.
gollark: Okay, I am now decreasing my estimate of your programming competence.
gollark: I don't know if there's a general strategy. The main thing to exploit is that the AI can't really respond to two threats at once.
