Exotherm - Learning

Previously Exotherm tended to fall for opening traps because a move looked good to it but actually led to certain doom deeper in the tree. Before releasing it, I wanted to make it avoid at least the most common mistakes. Today I added some code to the evaluator that uses and maintains a list of positions known to be won/lost. These notes are limited to a certain depth from the start of the game to avoid clogging up the list with deep positions that will never be seen again. The main bot code saves the list as part of the configuration file.
