Re: [pbmserv-dev] Another notation

[Yves Rutschle <pbm@rutschle.net>]

I thought I'd chime in with mine own idea ;)


- Number the tiles as you lay them down: first tile will be
  '1', second '2' etc.
- Refer to places with a direction relating to a tile:

            _N
         NW/  \NE
         SW\__/SE
             S

And thus a game notation becomes:
1. . (Non applicable)
2. 1N
3. 1NE

...

Places are therefore absolute during the entire length of
the game.

One downside I can see in this scheme is that it wouldn't
translate easily to physical games (unless you had numbered
stickers to stick on the tiles)

Cheers,
Y.
