Lifetime objective
Survival instinct — never place a disc where it can't clear vertically
Adds one human rule to the depth-4 search by refusing risky drops above a disc's vertical safe zone, then tests whether the rule extends life.
Approaches
Each page here is one theory of how to choose a column, grouped by the technique it uses; the engines that play the games and the instruments that measure them live under Engines and Diagnostics.
Lifetime objective
Judge a move by how much longer the game will still last, rather than by how many points it scores right now.
No approach page matches that search.
