mintaka

(WIP) A high-performance PVS-based Renju engine with strict rule implementation.

Features

• Core Engine

  • Full Renju-rule implementation featuring strict forbidden move detection:
    • Accurate detection of single-line and nested forbidden moves (overlines, double-threes, double-fours)
    • See detailed examples for complete specifications
  • Advanced tree search algorithm based on Principal Variation Search (PVS) with dedicated VCF solver
  • Lazy-SMP parallel processing for multithreaded search
  • Hardware acceleration with SIMD instructions (AVX-512, AVX2, SSE2, Neon) and bit-manipulation instructions (BMI2)

• Interfaces

  • Protocol Support: Piskvork(Gomocup), Yixin-board
  • FFI Bindings: Java (JNI), WebAssembly (JavaScript/TypeScript)
  • Web Interface: Solid.js frontend with REST API backend

• Planned

  • NNUE-based evaluation with separate networks for black/white pieces
  • Opening book support for early game optimization
