Hi, I'm not an expert in this, but if you take a closer look at the games played by Super Nova in my "Welcome"-thread, I strongly have the impression that Dave Kittinger also implemented Pre Scan (Search) Heuristics in this little middle class computer!? Do you have any information about this?

Best regards

My guess is Dave Kittinger did not jettison the PSH concept, but the more the positional evaluation evolved, the more the effect became diluted.

Here is a comparison graph, including both Beluga and Super Nova:


Of course there are some family genes (this is true with most program series from any programmer), but more specifically I think the peak in Strategy skills is mostly inherited from the inital bare PSH.

6 years later (compared to Beluga & SN), there is no more such a visible footprint from the PSH in the Emerald Classic' Khmelnitsky test (check the Strategy skill):

The schematics show us that the psh machines are those listed,

SC, CE, Beluga, Supernova.

Können wir jetzt nicht in Mess bzw. CB-Emu Pro die Bewertungen beim SC und CE einblenden, optional meinetwegen, nachdem die Speicherstellen entdeckt worden sind ? Sagen wir mal nur anzeigen wenn jemand die Print Evaluation Funktion als Tasten anzeigt.

Mich würde das sehr erfreuen einen SC bzw. CE mit Bewertungen zu sehen.
