The Mad Prune

Post by George Bodkin »

On the Developers Discussion Board I saw a engine called the Mad Prune. Is this a clone or a new engine.

Just to add George:

Bill (William Mowery Jr.) made an unofficial release of this lite-version of DeepLearninToga (DLT), which he called 'TheMadPrune' (TMP). His intention was to gather data from would-be users! The difference is, it doesn't have a learning algorithm. IMHO, TMP is simply his giveaway engine, while DLT is his Toga development engine. DLT has made some progress but has not surpassed yet neither Toga 1.4.1Se nor Toga1.4.2JD.

Though it isn't a strong engine, Bill has added many experimental features in the Toga code (since Toga 1.2.1) and wants to hear some feedbacks from other developers too.

TDDB still has 3 separate running Toga development (excluding Thomas'), and we are trying our best to make it unified in the end. It's already in progress.

Any added suggestions from our experts here?
