I was able to play Polygamo by "Polygamo.exe".
But I can not play any ZRF file on Polygamo.
When I start up "Polygamo.exe", I may play only "Tic-tac-toe".
I do not understand the way to play any ZRF file by "Polygamo.exe".
Plese tell me the way to play ZRF file on Polygamo.
I do not have "Visual Studio". |

The release includes a few games and variants, accessed by the buttons with dots on. Can you play those?
Read the README at https://github.com/david-pfx/Polygamo. You have to download the User Games to a folder of that name alongside the EXE. Then you can play the games in it.
You can add more games by adding folders and ZRF scripts to the User Games folder.
Feel free to raise an issue on GitHub or email me directly.
There are free versions of Visual Studio and Unity that can be used to develop Polygamo. |

Thank you for your reply!
I understood how to read external zrf files.
I placed "User Games" folder generated by expanding "UserGames.17j.zip" next to "Polygamo.exe" which in the folder generated by expanding "Polygamo.v1.0.17j13.alpha".
Then I was able to play the zrf files in "User Games" folder by using "Polygamo".
After start up "Polygamo", when I pressed "nine dots" button twice, I got a selection menu of zrf files. |

By the way, Chess.zrf and Shogi.zrf do not work well on "Polygamo".
Board setting of the piece is broken, and movement of the piece does not work well.
"Shogi.zrf" is not recognized about "no-king" of "move-type", and it is not loaded.
Of course, the image files of the pieces in the folder "Images" are placed next to the zrf file. |

Polygamo has no chess knowledge, and incomplete implementation of chess-specific language constructs. The authors of Zillions are world class experts in this area, and Polygamo is not intended to compete.
Polygamo has an MCTS AI (which Zillions does not), which should work well with many other kinds of game. |

I understand that.
I wish for the further development of both "Polygamo" and "Zillions of Games".
Hopefully further evolution of the ZRF language will happen !
Thank you very much. |
