How to create a leaves structure
You must first create a CSV that contains every possible 1 to 6 tile leave value in your lexicon. e.g:
?,30
A,2
B,-1
..
..
?ABCD,15
..
..
Then clone the wolges repo and install Rust on your computer. Andy has created a small, fast leaves file structure, but it requires a different repo and language to create. If anyone wants to help translate it to Go, please make a PR!
You can then follow the instructions in the wolges README to make a klv2 file. For example:
cargo run --release --bin buildlex -- english-klv2 leaves.csv leaves.klv2
- This will create a file named
leaves.klv2. Copy this file to the./data/strategy/<lexicon>/directory for your desired lexicon. If you wish it to be loaded by default, you must rename it toleaves.klv2. Otherwise, it can be used in experiments with its original name. See the Autoplay documentation.
How to create a GADDAG file
A GADDAG is a data structure that makes move generation very fast. Macondo needs GADDAGs in order to generate moves for a given lexicon.
You first need a text file for your lexicon. See the wolges README instructions for how to make a .kwg file (this is a Kurnia Word Graph, which encodes a GADDAG). For example:
cargo run --release --bin buildlex -- english-kwg CSW21.txt CSW21.kwg
You can then move this kwg to the appropriate data sub-directory.
You can download some gaddags from the liwords repo; see https://github.com/domino14/liwords/blob/master/liwords-ui/public/wasm.
