War revealed

Here we go… for those of you interested in War 1.0!

sourcecode
deckfile for 52 card game
deckfile for 54 card game

This version is using ROOT to plot the stats.
You have to have a proper ROOT setup to compile/run it.

Here are some example results.
setup: war -G 100000 -P 3 -C 54cards.crd -O war.root -R 1 -S 5
ROOT file
NTricks plot
Ndraws plot
Nwinner plot

btw
if enyone can solve the problem why player two always wins more games than player one… he/she’ll get a drink

CERN user

Woohoo! From today on I’m a real CERN user and not just a short term user… since my original CERN contract ended last Friday, I had to get a new contract (which was horribly difficult btw)… So my group decided to get me the “full membership”. Now I’m a valid member until I finish my degree in Copenhagen, which will hopefully work out… it looks not to bad!

Encore, encore

<Yeah right… my supervisor just told me that he’ll get money so that I can stay for some more days in my CERN office to finish up my/our project… which means some more days in heaven! Even though the rest is mainly writing things up and dealing with bad bad c++ and python code. Anyway it’s great… And I will even have the time to concentrate on my work since the summer school is slightly fading off…
(greetz to all who have gone already)

To many errors

Horrible… today I probably had the worst day at CERN. I was trying to find solutions to a variety of error-messages arising from the usage of my new friend Athena and CMT.
And the worst part of the story is… I had the idea to deal with those myself… damit!
Hasssss
(the pic just shows one out of several error messages… btw the permissions are right?!)
