Its official homepage describes it as a project from the University of Alberta Computer Go Group and as a successor using parts of Smart Game Board and Explorer. ### Project history The first Fuego release was version 0.1 on 30 May 2008, tested on then-current Linux distributions and Mac OS X. The project moved quickly through releases focused on UCT search, RAVE updates, prior knowledge, opening books, lock-free search, and Windows support, reaching version 1.0 in January 2010 and version 1.1 in March 2011. ### Adoption history Fuego was used both as a Go engine and as a research framework. The official publications page lists a 2010 IEEE article describing Fuego as an open-source framework for board games and a Go engine based on Monte Carlo tree search, and it lists later research projects and papers using Fuego for comparison or as a basis. ### How it is used Users and researchers build Fuego as C++ libraries and applications for Go-playing experiments. The official documentation is organized by libraries such as GtpEngine, SmartGame, Go, SimplePlayers, and GoUct, plus applications such as FuegoMain and FuegoTest. ### Why package nerds care Fuego matters to package-history work because it is a research-era C++ Go engine with SourceForge SVN hosting, Doxygen documentation, published tournament results, and a name collision with a later Firestore CLI. Its package identity depends on context: games and Monte Carlo tree search, not Firebase. ### Timeline - 2008: Version 0.1 initial release. - 2009: Fuego wins the 9x9 competition at the Computer Olympiad. - 2010: Version 1.0 released with Boost program_options, opening-book work, Windows support, and Monte Carlo search improvements. - 2010: Fuego wins the 4th UEC Cup on 19x19. - 2011: Version 1.1 released. - 2013: Official competition page lists continued tournament participation through the 6th UEC Cup. ### Related projects - Smart Game Board and Explorer are named by the official homepage as predecessor projects. - GoGui is recommended by the official homepage as a GUI. - MoHex is listed by the official publications page as using Fuego's Monte Carlo search engine and other components. - Pachi is listed by the official publications page as a Go program that used Fuego for comparison and testing. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** fuego - **Version Scheme:** 1 - **Revision:** 16 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Conflicts With:** fuego-firestore - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [autoconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/autoconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [automake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/automake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gnu-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnu-go/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, games, go, go-game. - [cgoban](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cgoban/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, games, go. - [katago](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/katago/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, games, go. - [easyrpg-player](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/easyrpg-player/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, games. - [gnuski](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnuski/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, games. - [homeworlds](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/homeworlds/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, games. - [npush](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/npush/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, games. - [pachi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pachi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game-ai, games, go. - [avanor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/avanor/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
