Napoleon PP by crybot - current edition

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner » Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:25 am

Hello ,

after download the master.zip file and extraction with IZArc http://www.izarc.org/ , a double mouse-click on Windows x86.exe shows an error message:

no valid win32-application. Perhaps the used compiler does not work with Windows XP SP3.

Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/#!/fre ... s-download neutralized x86.exe like a suspicious object.

Best wishes,

Norbert

The GitHub site https://github.com/crybot/Napoleon contains binaries for Windows and Linux (including source code)

I think it's a false positive. Give a try with the x64 version

The current version 1.3.1 on GitHub contains no binaries for Linux and Windows.

Only two files in the folder Napoleon PP with vcxproj http://www.file-extensions.org/vcxproj-file-extension

Best wishes,

Norbert

Hello,
I'm the author of Napoleon, I updated the repo with the latest binaries (namely version 1.3.1 which features AEL pruning).

I'm currently testing the real improvements over the older build, but i would like to have some more data on which to base the next updates.
Is anyone available to test my engine? In particular I would like to have an
approximation of the ELO score of Napoleon.
I have no material time to make those tests, so i'm asking you.
Should I create my own thread?
Thank you all in advance.

best regards,

Marco Pampaloni

P.S.
I really don't know what to say about the false positive registered by Panda.
