The word "Mancala" came from arabic word "naqalah" that means literaly "To move". PSPMancala is the "Awari" variant, and even if the rule of this game is simple, the complexity can be compared to chess Game. It has been developped on linux for Firmware 1.5 and i hope it works also for 2.x using the great eloader (0.99x) from http://www.noobz.eu/. The AI is based on the source code of H. Huseby & G.T. Lines, for their implementation of the classical Minimax algorithm. How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file. Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it. How to play ? Here is the rules available from awari.cs.vu.nl : Awari is played on a board where each player owns 6 pits. In the initial position, all pits are filled with four stones, thus the initial position has 48 stones. The player to move chooses one of its own, nonempty pits and removes all stones from the pit. The player then sows the stones, counterclockwise, over the remaining pits. If the last stone is sown into an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones after sowing, the stones are captured. In this case, if the second last pit is also an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones, they are captured as well, and this process is repeated clockwise, until the own pit, or an enemy pit containing less than 2 or more than 3 stones is reached. The player who captures most stones, wins the game. The game end when a player cannot move, however, to avoid such a situation early in the game, it is not allowed to do a move that leaves the opponent without countermove, unless all moves eradicate the opponent. pspmancala-v1.0.1.zip Special thanks to all PSPSDK developpers.

First of all, i'm sorry if you don't understand french ... Pour ceux qui s'apprêtent a acheter une PSP (pour eux ou pour leur bambin) pour Noël, il faut bien la choisir, sinon impossible d'utiliser toutes les possibilités de la PSP, en particulier les jeux, les émulateurs, et les logiciels développés par des fans de toute la planète, et communément appelés "homebrew" (pour logiciels "fait maison"). Il existe différentes versions du système d'exploitation de la PSP (appelé "firmware") et suivant la version il n'est pas possible d'installer des logiciels autres que ceux écrit par Sony. En particulier, a ce jour il n'est pas possible d'exécuter des "homebrew" pour les "firmware" supérieurs a la version 2.71. Lors de l'achat d'une PSP on préférera donc les anciennes versions, qui font souvent parties des anciennes offres / packs (genre value pack noir ou giga pack noir). Les versions de PSP blanches ont des firmwares très récents, car elles ont été mises sur le marché récemment. Les PSP roses quand a elles sont toutes en firmware 2.8x, et donc a eviter absolument ! Pour reconnaître une "bonne" PSP d'une mauvaise, il suffit de regarder ... la boite !! En effet, sur la boite près du code barre, il y'a un truc genre : PSP-nom-du-modele (par exemple 1001 K) 120 V (c'est la tension d'alim) WSxxx LETTRE C'est la LETTRE qui est super importante, ca va de A a L je crois et jusqu'a la lettre J c'est bon il est possible d'utilise les "homebrew", après pour K c'est limite, et ensuite L et plus c'est mort car le firmware est en version 2.8x ... Pour les anglophones vous trouverez davantage d'informations ici : comment reconnaitre une bonne PSP sur la boite Ensuite, suivant votre version de firmware, il faut appliquer quelques modifications a votre PSP. Il s'agit en effet de mettre votre PSP avec le systeme d'exploitation ("firmware") 2.71, puis de repasser en version 1.5 (qui ouvre toutes les possibilités de la PSP). Je vous invite a suivre l'excellent tutoriel disponible sur ultimate : ultimate psp Zx source: article sur coyotte Saturday, December 2. 2006A new forum section on Qj.net !Hi All !
