    It's very interesting how the rules of battleship vary from what I'm used to. In particular (since it's a pen-and-paper game, traditional Russian rules):
    -In the setup, Tom Scott grouped two ships together. This is forbidden here, regardless if the border is orthogonal or diagonal.
    -When Tom hit a Tom's ship, the turn changed to the other Tom. In here, the player hitting the ship is allowed to make another turn immediately afterwards.
    -The exact composition of ships: the regular setup here is 1 4-tiled ship, 2 3-tiled, 3 2-tiled, and 4 1-tiled.

    • @MrSonny6155
      @MrSonny6155 Рік тому +1

      I would have gone for a uniformly distributed version of the Tom (Scott)'s battleship strategy instead of scanning top-down, since I feel it is likely for humans to make use of the full board space, so this might converge faster?
      I think one of the better strategies does something similar, but with a proper probability density heatmap instead. Not sure if it is *optimal* against the average, untrained human's strategy, since it's possible implementing some system to attempt to guess groupings may or may not offer an advantage as well.

    The ongoing TomSkatt multiverse/bromance makes me genuinely elated.
    The dynamic between the Toms is so wholesome and bizarre; how two UA-cam stalwarts from vastly different fields of experience and expertise, and similarly disparate personalities can gel together so seamlessly is just… so great! It feels like the two hemispheres of the brain finally going on a long-overdue playdate, and discovering that they really enjoy each other’s company. Scott: the reserved, calculated, logical side. Ska: the witty, impulsive, emphatic counter.
    I demand that this becomes an ongoing series, or at the very least, we are treated to a broader TurboPunch - TechDif crossover.
    Thank you.
