They told me it's untreatable and they gave me quite a few endgame scenarios (cancer, psychiatric disorders, to name a few) but if or how it's going to progress and during what timeframe exactly -- they've carefully omitted admitting that they're incapable of providing anything of the sorts. At least they've admitted to some degree that I'm news to them.

My own estimate is that if I reach 50, then I'm gonna live forever. We'll see.

"Mr Mogoșanu, your results are in."
"Give it to me straight, doc. How long have I got?"
"Five."
"Ah fuck. Five years? Five... months?"
"...four...three...two...one..."

I guess I'll get back to this in a couple of months from now, since for now I have other things to look at.

I s'ppose I didn't, but I guess by now I'm well known for abandoning things after showing some ephemeral interest for them.

This could be a really nice post-retirement project, assuming I ever get there. Which by now I seriously doubt, honestly speaking; but oh well, let's see.

This directs the player's eye towards a general set of primitives for verifying the validity of partial and final table states, which primitives in turn direct one towards a general efficient state space searcher. The only reason why I didn't jump into this in the first place is because it's the easy way out, as modelling the game in a general SAT solver would have yielded pretty much the same "state space" approach. Instead I went about mapping the deductive, "intuitive to the human mind" methods, to a set of procedures, which led to the current state of affairs. Which is what "artificial intelligence" is all about in the first place.

Other than that, there's yet a whole lot more to be added on the other side: a graphical interface, a visualizer for potential colourings, a random table generator and perhaps more. I guess I'll get back to this in a couple of months from now, since for now I have other things to look at.

And done.
